The Premier says: “‘Millior3of gallant young men have fought for the new world. Hundreds of thousand: died to establish it, if we fail to honour Ithe promise given them we dishoncur ourselves. What does the new world m2an? what was the old world like? It was a world wkere toil for myriade of honest work- ing mer. and women purchased no:h- ing betier than squaor, penury, anx- ietv,, wretchcdness, 4 world scarred by slum:, disgraced by sweating, where un2mplcymen. throuich the vieissi- tucdes o’ indastry br ught despair to multituces of humble homes, a world where s de by side with want, there was waste of the inexhaust ble riches of the ezrth, partly through ignorance and want of foretnonght, partly through en- trenched selfishness, i we renew the lease oj that world we shall betray the heroic ¢.cad. We shall be guilty of the basest perfidy that ever blackened a peo- ple’s nime. Nay, wsz shall store up retribut oo fcr ourselves and our chil- dren. "“he old world will and must come to anend. No effort can shore it up much lcnger, If there be any who feel inclined so maintain it. let them beware lest if ‘all uson then- and overwhelm tbem and thoeir housenolds in rain. It should e the sublime duty of all, with- out thought of partiszaship, to act and to help in th2 buildinz up of the new world, where labcur shall have its just reward and indolence alone shall suffer want. New York, Sept. 14th. -With more than 50 persons injured, and the damage aiready done, estimated at from $5,000 000, to $10,000,000; fire-fighters tonight stil! were fighting a threat of further ex- piosious of oil tanks at the scene of tie fire, which practically wiped out the Stone and Fleming Oil Company’s plant ai | Long Island city yesterday. Five tanks ' of erude oil were burning ‘ate tonight. The twenty acres of fire swept territory looked like a scene in war which devas- tated KFrance or Beigium. Tanks were crumpled up, huge steel girders lay in a tangled mass, a few walls were left scandin2 and burning oil continued to flow along the suriace of Newton ecreek. The fire starting early on Saturday after- noon irom the explosion of an oil tank in the Stone and Fleming works, a sub- sidiary of the standard oil, on Newton creek, spread over vi tually the entire area of the plant which covers twenty acres and spread to the Colombia discill- . ing company’s buildings on the same side of the ecreek, the Peter Cooper glue works, and the American agricultural company’s plant across the water and the creek point bridge. At the same time flames carried across the stream by blaz- . ing oil threatened the plant works of the standard oil on the opposite bank. * Tarbes, Sept. 14th—Marshal Foch will | be officially received in this his own | town on September 28th arrangements . are being made for a celebration of the ‘ day. & | Toronto, Sept. 14th—Before Mr. Ocon- . nor, Vice-chairman of the Board of Com- merce in this city, on Sunday a local bar- , rister, Mr. Reid, attacked the profits ! and trade dealings of the American | sugar trust, and declared that there ' was a combine existing with Cuban . growers.
