In London| London.—It is sposatbla that former Emperor William may not be tried in London, according to an announce-|- ment made in the House of Lords; by Earl Curzon, government leader in,the. upper. hotise. The Lords passed the peace treaty and the Anglo-French ‘treaty. through all stages. In the course of discus- sion, Viscount Bryce deprecated holding the trial of the former Ger- man Emperor at London. Baron Buckmaster said there were grave reasons why the government ought not to pursue any further the project of trying the German war lord. -It was certainly unfitting, he declared, to ask an English judge to sit on such -a tribunal to administer a law he' does not know by proce- dure andthas never been defined, in a court he does not control. In his reply, Earl Curzon said he} thought the kaiser in exile in no ‘way comparable with Charles I. or Na- poleon. He was unable to imagine that a man who ignominously - fled “his country could be turned. into’ a martyr 6r a hero by.a trial, while his continued presence near the Ger- man Border ‘might be a political danger. . It might be, however, that the trial would be held in London. No ‘final decision has been reached, and the chances ‘of the trial: becoming a spec- ‘tacular show and disturbing public opinion ‘and the daily national life were important considerations. Even if the trial were within the sphere of Britain, it by no means followed that London would ‘be the place .sc- lected. Resume Trade With Germany - . Traders of World Rush in With First Raising of the Allied Blockade Béélin.—The first results of the raising of the blockade, says the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, is the flooding of -Cologne with forcign goods. “French firms,”> the newspaper adds, “are offering hundreds of thou- sands.of kilograms of cocoa powder, _chocolate,. coffee, ox a. pork fat, macaroni oaps.; German “imports companies have been offered large. quantities of corn starch and cocoa, hundreds of carloads of white beans and Chinese yellow peas, and raw coffee and chocolate in . huge quantities. “The American offers con, olive oil, rubber include ba- coats, stcam ious oils and vaseline. “An -Anglo-Japanese firm offers the direct importation of borax, aera ' resin, flax oil, shellac and soap.” Cutting Wheat Near Brandon Brandon.—Robert Roddick, farmer, of Brandon Hills, is cutting wheat. He commenced ona field that was sown on April 15. It is said to be the. finest crop since 1914. It is 30 years since wheat was cut in this particular district during July. Wheat fields in the Assiniboine’ River Val- ley are ripening fast. Paris Honored Victim Paris—Paris honored the memory of Sgt. Paul -Mannheim, of the French army, who was murdered in Berlin on July 13. The burial of Sgt. Mannheim took place at the Pere La- chaise. cemetery. Great crowds fol- jlowed the funeral procession, in which President. Poincare and’. Pre- “mier Clemenceau were represented. Fatal Airplane Accident Lient. -W. R.- “Crove_and Wife. of Aviator Kerr peer, Killed Portage La Prairie —Lieut. W. R- “Buster” Cross and Mrs. S. P, Kerr are dead-and Lieut. S. P, Kerr, of the Veteran Airplane company, of “Win- nipeg, is in the Portage general hos- pital in a precarious condition as the result of a nose diye made by ‘his machine about two miles north of this city. How the accident happen- ed cannot “be learned except from, those who saw the. machine come down, and they state that the engine stopped of a stidden, the nose of the machine turned earthward and° it came down with a crash. . Lieut, Kerr and party arrived here from Winnipeg with their machine, and had arranged to proceed to the Brandon exhibition. They made -an early start, but-had. some kind of trouble west of the city and were forced to land in a plowed field, ne- cessitating assistance in getting out. Nothing more was heard ‘of them un- til: they. were observed flying north of the-city, heading evidently for the’ landing place used during thg visit here exhibition week. . They were flying at an altitude of about 200 feet, when of a sudden the engine stopped and the plane came down on the farm of the Home for. Incurables. It is sufmised that; flying so close to the ground, Lieut. Kerr, who was running the machine, did not have time to straighten out before the crash came. The nose of thé ma- chine crashed into the ground and drove the engine in on top of Mrs. Kerr and Lt. Cross, who were in the front seat, and when taken out they were crushed almost beyond recog- nition. | When: the machine struck, Lieut, -Kerr, who - was in the back seat looking after the control, bounc- ed out and landed clear of the ma- chine, but he was unconscious when picked up, afd rushed to the hospital. Parts of the machine had to — be torn away. to get the bodies of Mrs. Kerr and Lieut. Cross out of thé wreckage, but there was no sign of life; and they myst have here in-] Ffantly: killed. The machine was what is known as the L.W.F. war type, 145 horse- Lpower, and has 48-foot wing epan. Honorary. Degree Recipients {Given to Leaders in War By -Cam- bridge University Cambridge, England.—General Sir Arthur Currie, commander of -the Canadian forces, was among those who received the horiorary degree of Doctor of Laws: from . Cambridge University. The ceremony took place in the senate house, which was crow- ded mostly with undergraduates dressed in military and naval uni- forms. for the occasion. The vice~ chancellor ofthe university, Dr. Ar- thur E. Shipley, of chee College, presided. ; Among the various recipients of the degree were Admirals Sturdee son, ~ Birdwood, Wilson, \Herne, Monass, the Earl of Cavan and Gen. Pershing: : * ‘ The vice-chancellor then enter- tained. the party at~ luncheon in} Christ College hall, to which they walked_through the rain, the students following and cheering. Gen. Bird- woad was carried Susie: high by the youths. . Civilian Disturbances ~All Over England * “London.—Civilian ‘disturbances in different parts of the country - have been as destructive as anything’ com- mitted by the military. At Swindon gangs of youths and dischargéd im- périal soldiers looted twenty business premises and burned the . flagstaff outside the municipal buildings. At Luton, where the town hall was burned, further disturbances were quelled by police charges. Men and four women were arrested, and fur- ther arrésts are imminent. At Cov- entry many shops were attacked; 40 persons were injured, some danger- ously, and police assistance was sought from Birmingham. At Bilston the mobs tore down a wall and used the bricks as missiles against the po- lice. Additional police were summon- ed from neighboring towns, Would Exclude Canadian Cattle Fears Expressed in England That Animals Are Exposed to . Diseases London.—Farmers of England are opposing the efforts being made to remove the long-standing prohibition on the importation of Canadian store cattle. The cotincil of the chamber of agriculture has adopted a report urging that there be no relaxation in the restrictions, not because of dis- ease which is admitted to be non-ex- istent in. Canada, but because Can- ada’s extended frontier exposes her to constant danger from the U.S, where animal diseases are always pre- Lcation of peace with Austria. Aang Proclamation : - Of Peace. At Ottawa Ottawa “tn “Phroes roca of Doub as to Whee "War Measures Ast ‘Expires Ottawa=sParttanant will be in ses< sion again before the War Meastres Act expires, and with it the race track betting, prohibition and other war- time ‘orders-in-council passed under its provisions. Such is the tnder- standing here, and: was the . under- standing when parliament prorogued a fortnight ago. At that time the final complete text of the peace treaty with,Germany had not been recéived in’ Ottawa, and therefore could not be submitted to parliament for rati- fication. Drafts as prepared had been. received and changes made ‘are cabled from Paris. It was not till the arrival in Ottawa of Hon. C. j. Do- herty, who with Hon. A; L. Sifton signed the treaty for Canada, that the text as signed at Versailles was avail- able, The understanding. with the British government when Sir Robert Borden left London was that “there would ° ‘be no® proclamation of peace by Britain for some time, and at any rate not till the Canadian ‘parliament had full opportunity to ratify. — Since then, howeyer, greater neces- sity-has apparently arisen in Great Britain for an early ‘proclamation that a state of war no longer exists. It is understood that the government here is in communication with the imperial authorities on the subject and that stress is being laid on the necessity for full: opportunity being given to the Dominion parliament fox discussion of the treaty’s terms -be- foré formal proclamation of peace by the King. Notice has already been given of a special session in the fall for ratification. © While the ‘question jane nut: been discussed in cabinet as yet, it is pro- bable that the date of opening will be advanced a week or two to avoid any unnecessary delay. But that peace will be officially’ . proclaimed, before the Dominion parliament can be sum- moned is regarded here as. extremely unlikely. The point raised by Sir ASB: Aylesworth ‘that the war time orders- in-council, notwithstanding their own. provisions, will not be opera- tive after ‘expiry of the War Meas- ures Act is generally conceded; A similar opinion was given by a com- mittge.+ of Jegal . experts in .

The principal allied and. associ- ated powers .are*defined in the treaty as U.S... British Empire, France, Italy and Japan. Ratification of the treaty with Germany alone is not regarded as being sufficient to end the war and the War. Measures Act. There will. be also need to be ratifi- Peace with Germany would be mercly a partial peace. But whether ratifica- tions of the peace with Bulgaria and Turkey first would be necessary in- so far as the termination of the War Measures ct is concerned is regard- ed.as somewhat doubtful. There: is little likelihood, in actual practice, of much difference in. time between the proclamation of peace in Great Britain. and its proclamation in Can- ada by. me governor-general, Cneadians Sentenced ee Tn England] End of Trial of Seven in Connection Y With Death of Epsom Policeman London.—At~ the Surrey assizes Bugler Robert Todd and Private E.

The question was threshed out last year, and there was.a general” un- derstanding that. hereafter. when Lhonors were announced the ‘feason for their bestowal “should be pub- lished... This has been done in form, but, it is alleged, not in substance, because ‘s¢veral. much criticized hon- ors in“the last list were described as “for public services,” which might mean almost anything.
