Of the loss of his left leg, which was
shot away, he said, by the last cannon
ball fired in the battle of Salisbury,
three days before the news of Lees
surrender had reached the outposts.

SHIPS MENAGERIE
 RUNS AMUCK ON TRIP
By International News serucc>

tBy International News service)
 LONDON, Aug 25. The Elder Dempster steamship Elmina was berthed at Liverpool this week with a distracting sideshow in full swing.
 On board was an interesting collec- tion of beasts sent by the governor of Gambia, West Africa, as a present to the London Zoo"
 Two hyenas formed part of the con signment. These had already been loose once during the passage, and they repeated the escape in the Mersey. The theory is that some youthful spirits enjoyed the first in cidomt s0 much that they arranged for repetition before they left the ship.
 Pitchforks were employed to urge the beasts back to their den. The of fiCers never had a dull moment while the dual operation of berthing ship and big game hunting was in progress.
 Some regrets were expressed (not among the ships officers) that the DOT cupines and ostriches were not given an airing at the same time.
 In addition to this the passengers took great interest during the voyage in the menagerie, and several still bore souvenirs in the shape of scratches when the vessel docked

DEPOPULATION OF FRANCE WILL SHOW
 IN CENSUS REPORT
tBy International News servlce)

NbN NEWS SeTNlCSJ
 PARIS, Aug. 25. In anticipation that the final returns of the March census will show a notable decrease in the population of France, Georges Bonnefous proposes to ask parliament to reduce the number of deputies at the next general election, due to be held in 1924, by ninety-five seats.
 Including representatives from Al sace and Lorraine and French colon ies, the last election of November 1919, sent GIG deputies to parliament. NJ. Bonnefous also suggests that no byeeleCtiOns be held between now and the general elections of 1924 unless constituency loses all its representa- tiyes, either through death or resigna. tion or any other cause which would keep them away from the chamber of deputies
 The net figures for the population of France will shortly be at hand and those already known, especially in the case of large towns, a considerable decrease has been shown, except pos sibly in the case of Marseilles The population of Paris is much lower than in 1911, though on the other hand the suburbs which in France fig ure as separate communes show a notable increase

EX-CANADIAN
 MILITIA HEAD
 PASSES AWAY
CBy Associated Press)

LINDSAY, Ont, Aug 25.-Sir Sam Hughes, former Canadian minister of militia, died here yesterday
 As minister of munitions for Canada during part of the World war, Gen. eral Sir Sam Hughes became one of the leading figures who helped tc make that dominion a potent and ef fective unit of the military forces of the British Empire in the great conflict
 He was appointed minister with the rank of major general soon after the heginning of the war and thereafter devoted his energies to turning over Canada's resources in men and sup plies to the winning of the ultimate victory In 1915 Sir Sam went to Flu rope where he made a tour of the sectors occupied by Canadian troops and was created knight commander of the Order of Bath by King George,
 His resignation from the office of minister of munitions at the request of Sir Robert Borden, prime minister, followed long continued friction with his colleagues. An investigation, con ducted at Sir Sam's request into charges that he had made profits from army contracts, completely ex- onerated him.
 To lessen Canadian losses in the war and 10 promote greater efficiency, Sir Sam at one time proposed a Cana dian war council organized in Eng land with a deputy minister of militia at its head. The Canadian govern ment however, held that there should be an overseas minister of militia. Disagreement over this scheme, which would have abolished much of Sir Sam's power, eventually led to his re tirement
 General Sir Sam Hughes was born in Darlington, Ont. Jan. s, 1853, and received his education in the public schools and Toronto university. After ward he lectured on English litera- ture and history in Toronto collegiate institute until 1885 when he purchased the Lindsay Warder and became it's editor
 As eral-Conscrvative he was a ! member of the Canadian house of commons from 1892 to the time of his death. He was always deeply inter. i ested in military affairs and in bring ing about the closest possible affilia tion between Canada and the British Empire, and. in many years bcfoNe the World war, visited New Zealand and 1 Australia to induce them to prepare to aid Great Britain in her wars.
 During the Boer war he served in 1 Africa as commander of mounted brigade As a young man. he took part in the suppression of the Fenian raid ol 1870.
 General Sir Sam was married twice | His second wife was Mary E. Burk of West Durham, Ont. His son, Gar oct B Hughes. served in the Canadian Forces as major general.
