SHIP EXPERT VANISHES Chicago, Nov. 27.—Either German rpit-K or robbers are believed to be re sponsible for the mysterious dieap pearanoe of Prank R'sdon Moore, of \.w York, a confidential agent for 1 Flint & Co., from the Hotel Atlantic : last Wednesday.

I meetings In Quebec district. Hoik Al* bert Suvlgny was mobbed in Dor chester and threats are made against his life if he appears again in that country. As in Montreal, so in Quebec. There is an organized gang to terrorize the I'ninnists. Where necessary, spec ial trains are used to convey this mob Ito the Sunday meetings to prevent any j ! statement of the Unionist cause. It is I I different in the Eastern Townships ' where the sturdy English element are strong enough to prevent interference. There is also quite a French-Canadian element in the Eastern Townships that are sympathetic to the Union cause. I English-Laurier candidates, suc'i :is P. N. McCrea, Sherbrooke; Fred Kay, Mississquoi, and J. A. Robb, Hunting don, have been deserted by the former English supporters. In Drome, <.'omp ton, Sherbrooke and Stansteaii the outlook for the Unionist candidates is very encouraging. Wholesale exemptions from military service are the rule. Of 15,000 for ex emptions in this city all have been granted but. 600. The same racial dis crimination is shown by the military tribunals. French-Canadians are given immunity from military service, but the English-Canadian must serve, and this in. a city where the English are one-fourth of the population and have enlisted 25,000 English-Canadians to 5,000 French-Canadians. Practically every exemption granted by the tri bunal will have to bo taken before the central appeal judge if justice is to be secured An amateur is a very young parson ■vho believes he keeps all the prOfeu eionals grieving.
