CHIEF FORD FIRST WARNS MO-

To make sure that the public is

SCOUTS TO RECEIVE
TIPS ON FIRST AID

The Boy Scouts of Ottawa will hold
a meeting tonight at 7;30 o'clock at
Armory to receive instructions in
first aid work, under the leadership
OF DR.. f. f. Palmer. 1t will be the
first occasion the boys of the city
have ever had to study first aid rene
dies With a real demonstration given
by physician, and promises to be
one of the finest and most interesting
lessons in scoutdom ever given the
boys
The two scout masters, Fred Scher-
er Jr. and Chester Gleim, are partic,
ularly anxious to get the ottawa boys
raised to second class scouts. To
do this the lads will have to pass pro-
ftciency tests in first aid work and
several other lines of endeavor. Pre-
viously the boys have been given no
consecutive training along these lines.
Special meetings will be held in
the future and training will be given
to the lads to promote them to a high
er standard.

NOT ARRANGED BY
U.S.GRAIN GROWERS INC.

The headline on the article in Thurs
days issue relative to the meeting to
be held at the ottawa high school
auditorium this evening seems to
have conveyed a wrong impression
in as much as it was understood by
some that the u. S. Grain Growers,
Inc, were jointly with the grain deal
ers and farmers responsible for the
gathering. The U. S. Grain Growers,
Inc, had no part in arranging the
meeting in question, which was called
by the grain dealers and farmers who
are desirous of having a full under
standing of exactly what the con
tracts being circulated mean to the
signers and the probable results of a
change in the system of marketing
grain.

MACHINE CRASHES DOWN STEEP
EMBANkMENT AND Is SMASH
ED TO SPLlNTERS-CHAUFFEUR
RENDERED UNCONSCIOUS.

Fate played a queer hand yester-
day afternoon, when lightning struck
an oil truck rendering the driver, Will
liam Sheedy, unconscious, without
setting fire to the huge tank on the
car, The truck, a large one belong
ing to the Standard Oil Co., was brok-
en- to kindling wood and junk, and
thrown down a twelve foot embank-
ment. Sheedy escaped uninjured ex-
cept for a few cuts on the head and
a general shaking up.
The accident occurred at 4 p. m,
about one and one-half miles west
of the hard roads between Serena
and Marseilles Sheedy was en- route
to Seneca, when the flash came that
halted his journey.
Two travelling men who were rid
ing along some distance down the
road, saw the flash Of lightning, and
heard the terrific crash that followed
Looking ahead they saw the big truck
swerve over the embankment
They hastened to the scene Of the
accident, and found the injured man
lying unconscious among the debris
of the car. They lifted him up and,
after administering first aid remedies,
rushed him to Seneca to receive med
ical treatment.
How the truck escaped being set
fire to by the lightning, remains a
mystery to all who visited the scene
of the accident, Mr.. Sheedy received
many congratulations yesterday and
today, on escaping tragic death,
which would certainly have followed
the explosion had the current set fire
to the truck.

NO REOPENING QUESTION OF
 MANDATES

London, Spt- 7-President Hard ing's new mandate note to the League of Nations, will not result in reopen ing the question of mandates by the Allied Powers, according to opinion advanced in official circles here to- day. It is understood that France and Italy art determined to proceed with the mandate question according to the treaty of Versailles and will refuse to reIew the negotiations on the subject.
 Great Britan's position was sum- med up as follcws by a well informed political parsonage:
 Great Britan greets the new American mandse note with the most pleasant smile, ht intends to forget the receipt of it.
 The note has been in the chan cellories of the AAed Powers for sev- eral days.
 It is stated on te best of authority in Whitehall that \. J. Ba1four, who is now in Genea attending the League of Nations meeting, regards the American note IS adding nothing new to the mandate controversy. MT. Balfour is backed iL his opinion by the Foreign Office. British officials fear that discussions might lead to misunderstanding.
 The United States Lised the man. date question as a reult of Ameri- can opposition to th Tap Island mandate going to JaRn. The man dates had already beer distributed be- fore the original Arerican protest was made.
 The distribution of the mandates subject to the approvl of the League of Nations Assembly,a at a time when America was without an official ob- server on the Supren. Council.
