THE BOMBARDMENT OF DAMASCUS...

Paris, October 28.

French uneasiness in regard to Damascus is shown by Le Journal] baking whether it is true, as the English newspapers declare, that General Sarrafl, prior to the bombardment, omitted to follow the elementary rule of the law of nations whereby the Consular Body is informed and due warning is given for the evacuation of women and children: It says that it is stated that the omission led to a protest by the Consular Body transmitted by its doyen, the German Consul, whose recall Generall Sarrail then demanded-Reuter.

-RUSSIAN GRAIN CROP.

Moscow, October 28.

It is officially stated that owing to unfavourable weather the grain harvest amounts to 65,000,000 tons as compared with the 70,000,000 expected. Owing to the scarcity and dearness of Industrial products the peasants are holding back grain supplies, hoping to ob- tain a better price...

When this happened, it is be- lieved that the fish life was car- ried underground at the same time where it has managed to sùr- vive.

Imports, of British anthracite into Canada via Montreal this season, already exceed the tota for the whole of last year. The reasons given for this is the threat of a strike in the American anthracite fields and a growing preference for Welsh and Scotch coal in Canada: To dato 246,316 tons of Welsh and Scotch an- thracite have been to taken Canada by steamer, while thel total for the whole of the 1924 season was 219,327 tons. In addition 672 tons of British coke have been shipped here and this represents a doparture in the coal importing business.
