Ccmmodious Quarters

The Old Dominion Boat Club must
enlarge its quarters. This was the
decision reached Ey the club at its

tive. Special committees consisting

Dyson, G.. H. Wingate and j. S.
Douglas, Sr., were appointed to in
yestieate and submit recommended
tions.
A called meeting of the Board OF
Governors was held last night to hear
the report of these committees.
A further meeting will be held IN
the near future to formulate and de-
eide on definte plan to be pre-
sentel at a called meeting of the
club.

following new members were admit
ted: c. E. Dors cite, 5l7 Cameron

PROTEST OCCUPATION
German Workers Refuse to Voice Oh.
jections by Striking Berlin Con-
tinues Quiet

Berlin, March 9.-Follow.
ing a semi official announce.
ment that the German Ambassador;
at London, Paris and Brussels have
been summoned 70 Berlin, it was re.
ported here last night that the Ger
man Government has broken off al
relations with the Allied governments
as protest against the occupation Of
Dusseldorf, Duisberg and Ruhrort
According to the Berlin Zeitung
the experts who assisted in preparing
the German counter-proposals will
try to find a basis for fresh negotia.
tions should the Allies indicate dc
sire to resume the negotiations. These
experts held special meeting yes
terday morning.
Twelve hours after the Allied adj
vance into Germany Berlin remains
quiet, on the surface at least. For
a while it was feared the workers
would yield to the persuasions of the
Communists to go on general
strike as protest to the occupation;
but this plan was voted down by the
workers.
President Ebert yesterday morn
ing issued formal proclamation in
which he declared the Allies were
violating the treaty Of peace: He
said that Germany was not in a posi-
ton sos. oppose force with fore and
he called upon all Germans to meet
the invasion with dignity and not to
allow themselves to be driven into
hasty action which might lead to
bloodshed.
London, March 9.-Much mystery
surrounds the sudden departure of
the German Ambassador to Great
Britain, Dr.. Won Sthamer, for Berlin
laanght: 80. ;. -
Neither the Ambassador nor his
Embassy colleagues would confirm, a
report current yesterday evening that
he had been recalled by the Berlin
Government as part of a formal pro-
test against the Allied occupation of
more German territory, although
DR.. Wilhelm, Mayer, German envoy
in Paris and the German Minister
at Brussels also left for Berlin yes
terday afternoon.
DR.. Simons, the Foreign Minister,
and his big staff left Yesterday af-
ternoon by special train. None of
the German delegation took any stock
IN reports published in some conser-
vative afternoon papers that within
three weeks the Germans under the
Allied pressure would come forward
with better proposals. On the con-
trary, some Of the principal German
officials believe German traders will
at ONE try to market much Of their
goods in adjacent neutral countries
incluiing Russia, to thwart the Al
lies.

The GRIP EPIDEMIC
AND HEALTH OFFICER
Gazette's Report That Grip
Exists Backed by Lead
ing Physicians
BOTH SIDES GIVEN
BOTH SIDES GIVEN
Health Officer Characterizes Report as
.Absurd-Physicians Tell of Large
Number of Cases Existing Here

How many cases OF grip are there
in the city?
The Gazette On Monday published
statement to the effect that "ac-
cordins to report there are more
than 800 cases OF grip prevailing at
the presen, time. In conclusion il
said: "The epidemic is now on the
wane according TO reports. "
This statement was obtained from
sources that the Gazette believed au-
thentic and still believes to be au-
thentic. The Gazette, however, did
not make q positive statement that
there are such a number of cases
but according to report" simply
said.
DR.. L. E. Foulks, the city health
officer, takes exception to the state
tnent. and today accosted a represen-
tatiye Of the Gazette and in part had
the following" to say:
"The report that there are 500
cases Of grip in the city is absurd
and without. any foundation whatso-
ever. There are number of persons
suffering from colds here. The
docto- said he was not able to say
how many are suffering from colds.
The Gazette afterward called up
over the telephone several of the
city's leading physicians and ascer-
tanned that there are large num-
Der Of cases Of mild gri, in the city
and an epidemic Of colds. These
statements are interesting when
compared with The statement made
by d.. Foulks in the presence OF
witnesses this morning. Anyhow
the Gazette feels convinced that It
was warranted in making the state
ment, otherwise II world never have
published it.
The Gazette Quotes some OF the
physicians as follows:
DIR. Samuel 3. Moore: an my
opinion there arc between 600 and 700
cases of mild form Of grip in the
city
DR.. Walter A. War-feld: "In my
opinion there are about 500 cases OF
mild form of grin in the city"
Dr.. Hugh Mcclure: There are
larpe number of very mild eases
of grip existing in the city. The re-
port that there are about 800 think
is highly exaggerated.
DR.. Llewellyn Powell: ! nave
sen great number of cases all OF
. mill forn: af Influenza. >
DR.. Edward A. Gorman-l nave
treated large number of cases OF
a mild form OF grip recently.
could rot give an estimate OF the
number of cases of grip existing
here. ;,
uhysic;an who refused to permit
the use of his na,res said: There i
IN epidemic Of grip in the city OF
Alexandria: hay. not seen anrthlng
but grin in all G: the cases nave
been called to treat for the past
three weeks.
Several other physicians were cal
led on the phone, but some retnseo
to be Quoted and some were not IN !.
Two of them stated that they mad
treated Il large number Of cases CT
grin IL the city.
Nay YOU have the statements OF
the health officer and these phys'cians
and the report published in the ga
zette. Take your choice.
From the above it would seem 70
indicate that the Gazette report mas
some foundation despite Dr.. Foulk
statement to the contrary.

USED BALLOON
SILK TO MAKE
FANCY CANOES
Outlaw Indians Had No
Scruples About Using U.
S. Goods

Cochran, Ont, May 15.-Some won
derful canoes appeared mysteriously
recently in the James Bay region. They
were constructed not of birchbark, but
of strange material the North had
never seen. AS light and swift as
swallows on the wing, they SKINNED
the water. Moose Factory Indians
marveled. Had the Great Spirit come
from the Happy Hunting Grounds to
teach his red children new medicine?
The big balloon that carried three of
Uncle Sans naval aviators into the
wilderness several months ago had
since lain collapsed ON the spot where
1t descended. Officials of Moose Fac
tory, one OF the earliest posts estab-
lished on American shores by the
Hudson's Bay Company had given
orders to all the Indians who own
allegiance to the ancient fur company,
to leave the great gassbag undisturbed.
These orders had. been strictly OBJ
served.
a band of outlaw Indians. whose
home village is sixty miles northwest
of Moose Factory, found the balloon.
Old Hudson's Bay Company's order
meant nothing to them. AS for Uncle
Sam, they had never heard of him. But
they knew good canoe material when
they saw 1t and straightway with their
hunting knives they sliced great
blanket pieces from the sides of the
fallen monster and from the magic
fabric fashioned that rode the
waves like a thistledown. The air
had given the Northland their most
marvellous craft.
The Indians who wrecked Uncle
Sans gas-hag are known as plutocrats
of the wilderness. While on a recent
visit, the chief of the outlaws was
asked II he were not afraid of getting
into trouble for cutting up balloon
belonging to the Great Republic across
the border. With a shrug, he drew
from his pocket a roll of money that
would have made a rent hog Jealous.
He was ready to deal with Uncle Sam
as one man with another.
How much cost for big baE7" he
asked indifferently. Me buy the tam
thing now and pay spot cash.
