Sir Robert Borden, premier of Cana
da, is on his way to Great Britain,
with the purpose, not avowed by him,
of stirring up the Eritish government
to the importance of Canada in the
war. Before sailing he wmld not tell
the name of the vessel on which he
would make "the trip he refused to
talk about complaints Canadians have
recently made, particularly in war con
tracts. The attack of W. W. Biitler,
one of the great manufacturers of Can
ada, against the policy of making J. P.
Morgan & Co., the great New York
bankers, agents for the purchase of
British war supplies, was passed oyer
by the premier without comment.
"During the war there has been very
close co-operation between the Brit
ish and the Canadian government in
respect of all matters relating to the
war and touching the common inter
ests of the empire," said he. "This
co-operation has involved incessant
correspondence both by cable and by
letter wi.th the colonial secretary and
with Sir George Perley, the acting high
commissioner for Canada in. London.
It' is considered that co-operation be
tween the two governments can be
rendered more effective and the com
mon interests more thoroughly safe
guarded if certain important questions
could be discussed at a personal in
terview. K
as tor volunteers in tne war, we
have sent 75,000 so far, as you know
what kind of a record they have made.
We have about 75,000 more, organized
aiid in training. The men are coming
in to volunteer faster than we are
able to train, arm and equip them."
Washington, July 2. President Wil
son's proclamation bespeaking national

lows: -
"A national exposition in commem
oration of the achievements of the ne
gro race during the last 50 years will
be held in Richmond, Va., July 5 to 25,
1915. "
"The ' occasion has been recognized
as of national importance by Congress
through an appropriation of $55,000 to
aid in its promotion and consummation.
This sum is ; being . expended by the
terms" of the i appropriation .'under the
direction of the Governor of Virginia.
"The Exposition is Tinder the auspices
of the Negro Historical and Industrial
Association. The action of Congress
in this matter indicated very happily
the desire of the nation as well as of
the people to encourage the negro in
his efforts to solve his industrial prob
lem. "The National Negro Exposition is
designed to demonstrate his progress
in the last 50 years and to emphasize
his opportunities. As President of the
United States I bespeak of the active
interest of the nation to the exposi
tion and trust that every facility will
be extended to the leaders whose earn
est work has made the undertaking
possible."
The proclamation bears the date of
July 1, the seal of the government and
the signature of the President.

thrilling three -reel Laemmle drama of
the North woods that heads today's bill
at the home of "Tne Incomparable

ed during the last heavy snow storm
.of the season in the Adirondacks just
at the time the Winter Carnival was at
its. height at Lake Saranac. Scenes from
the carnival are included in the picture
ancU-you will gasp with delight and
wonder at the beautiful scenes. It is
the strong story of a man to man bat
tle for valuable timber property, with
Brinsley; Shaw playing the leading role.
Life in the woods and at the outdoor
sports of the fashionable set, all pic-
tured against a background of sur
passing loveliness. It is a big picture
that you cannot afford to miss, and
will thrill you for every moment of
the three reels.
King Baggott is featured in a great
single reel Imp production, "The Rid
dle of the Silk Stockings," a unique
comedy drama that will be especially
pleasing.
Next week's big bills will surprise
even those who are in a habit of ex
pecting big things at the Bijou. There
will be some exceptionally big features
for every day. Watch for them.
At the Grand Today.
Just keep your eye- on the Grand
for every day the management has. a
pleasant surprise to offer for it's pat
rons in the way of good pictures. They
are without a doubt the best that
money can buy. Manager Peck is spar
ing no expense to please the movie
fans.
Today's programme Is one of unusual
merit, the Kalem company as everyone
knows always has a good one on tap,
and they have exceeded the limit in
"The Figure in Black" the newest two
act detective story, featuring Marian
Sals, Ollie Kirby and Paul . C. Hurst.
"Nobody Would Believe" is the title
of the Lubin drarna that has been
praised so highly by the press and
public, why not? Look at the cast
Lillie Leslie, William Cahill, Walter
Law and Joseph Smiley this in itself
is enough to , assure the public that
something good is in store for them,
a visit to the Grand will convince you
that we are delivering the goods. Now
for a great Comedy "Dreamy Dud in
King Koo's Kingdom." 'Living car
toons by Wallace A. Carlson produced
