thority of the Dominion, but declares
that the question of what part, if any,
the forces OF Canada shall take ia any
war, actual or threatened, is one to be
determined at all times as occasion may
require by the people of Canada through
their representatives in Parliament"
The amendment was defeated by l02

tent caused by abnormal conditions Gre
ated through civil war which the Mexi-
can people have been forced into exact
ly for the same reason which brought
about the world war"

NO GREAT WHEAT RESERVES.
Rumors from Ukraine and Southern
Russia are Groundless.

Paris, Sept. 12.-Adyices from Ameri-
can Red Cross investigators at Poltava,
southern Russia, received in Paris to-
day, state that reports of an enormous
grain surplus in Ukraine and southern
Russia, which have disturbed American
wheat growers with visions of tum-
bling market, may be dismissed as
groundless.
Investigators, who have just arrived
at Poltava after tour of the country,
recently liberated by General Denikine
from the bolsheviki, state that early
threshings promise a crop OF slightly
above normal Even this bumper crop,
however, will fall short of the domes-
tic demand, and il is declared that not
bushel of it will ever enter into competi-
tion with wheat from the United States
Russia and the countries bordering on
the black sea viii need the entire 1919
crop.

Considerably Cut.

A three quarter ton stone mounted on
a small truck in the stoneshed of Nc
Cole and Abair toppled onto two men,
Henry Abair of 80 Prospect street, and
Angelo Sella of Vine street, as the men
were pushing the load of stone along
the small track going from the shed to
the yard to-day Both had their shoul-
der against the truck and their heads
down when the granite block became un-
balanced and pinned them,to the ground.
Abair, lad of q, and the smaller of
the two men, suffered the most from the
accident, as the stone struck him upon
the back and shoulder as well as inflct-
ing a deep cut of two or three inches on
the right side of his head Sella,
man Of large stature, was also badly
bruised and he, too, was severely cut, for
several stitches were required to close
the wound of 3% inches long and about
helf an inch deep on the left side of
the head, little back from the ear, and
extending down to his neck. Other work
men released them from the stone Mr..
Abair of the firm took them both to his
home. where a doctor treated their in
iuries. The extent of young Abair's in
iuries were not known to the doctor, but
he will doubtless be unable to work for

mission at Paris. The copy was pre-
sented to Bullitt by Colonel Z. NJ. House
and bore the inscription by the latter
"in appreciation of your help in the
hour of need"
In answer to question by Senator
Knox, Bullitt said that in its final form
the only proposal by the president that
remained intact was article ten.
Senator Knox wanted to know if thazs
was not a feeling of dissatisfaction al
Paris at the way in which the American
delegation work was handled
There was little contact between the
top of the delegation and the experts
Bullitt replied
Bullitt said he was sent to Russia by
Secretary Lansing in February to obtait
from the soviet government statement
to exact terms on which it would agrs,
to stop fighting on all fronts. Before
proceeding, Bullitt said he asked Col
House number of questions bearing
on the American position, ap9 House told
him, he said, that if the bolshevik were
ready to stop fighting and declare an ar.
mistice, the United States would ap
prove,
Bullitt was in Russia one week, and on
his return to Paris, sent Il report to
President Wilson.
There was serious discussion of condi
tions in Russia and the question of with
drawing troops, Bullitt testified, and ii
was because of this that he was directed
to proceed TO Petrograd.
From Helsingfors Bullitt sent conf
Dental kilograms to the president, Sec
retsry Lansing and Col House, explain
ing conditions as he found them, and
saying Lenine and Others associated with
him, realized the need Of peace. They
were ready, he said, to pay their foreign
debts. Asked how this information was
received by the American mission, Bull
lit replied:
Colonel House wrote me telegram
Of congratulation, but because it was
signed House and Mission it was not
sent. The colonel gave it to me when
got back to Paris"

lington to Go to School.

Burlington, Sept. Disappearing in
a very mysterious manner shortly be-
fore 0 o'clock on Wednesday morning
at the Lawrence Ba.nes school on North
street, Madeline Marshey, the l3-year-

lice and members of the Marshey family.
Where the young girl could have gone
to is unexplainable to the parents, who
state that she was good girl and has
no acquaintsnces who might have en-
ticed her away.
The girl went to store near her home
early in the morning to get a writing
tablet to take to school and brought
back some change to her mother. At the
time, she complained of having tooth
ache and of feeling miserable. Her moth
er sent her to school, however, telling
her that If she did not feel better to
ask permission to go home.
She was accompanied from the Marsh
ey home by younger sister and they
walked along together until the school
was reached. Here the younger sister
went into her room but Madeline did not
enter the building but kept walking
along up North street. The family did
not think anything of her disappearance
until late in the afternoon and then in
vestigated. They reported the disap-
pearance to the police yesterday morn
ing.
The girl is about four feet tall, weighs
about 100 pounds, being stockily built,
is of dark complexion, with light brown
hair, wore white dress with blue
sash, white shoes and stockings and a
khaki coat coming below her knees.
There are two scars on her face, one over
each eye, and one on the left hand be-
tween the thumb and forefnger.
