Even Lord Northeliffe's newspapers are bound to keep their hands off a person's Garter’s, Similarly the the opposition press will respect Sir Sam's knighthood—or if they don't they ought to. This is a pretty theory but it fails to convince anybody who knows what an ingrained demo- It took at least two reasons to change his mind. One probably was that everybody else was do- ing it—in the last four years four Canadian cabinet ministers have offered themselves on the altar of erat Sir Sam ts, overpowering has become a Knight Commander | knighthood, not to mention the titles that have been passed around among their friends. And the other probably was the set- tled policy of the Borden govern- ment to have a first and second line of cabinet defence consisting entirely of Knights. This line which will be gradually extended it takes in the Hon. Bob Rogers, just naturally had to in- clude Major the chief defender of the realm in these parts. Everybody knows he is because he has said so him- self and besides we have Lord Robert's for it that he is the greatest Driving Force in his- Such being the case Major General Sam could hardly be left out of the thin red line of kffights whom Premier Borden is more or less rapidly gathering about him. And at that not suppose that Major General Sam surrendered without a struggle. Later reports will show that he was lured to Buckingham Palace, and that King George put it on him when he wasn't looking. This often happens considera- tions of state are involved. Some until General Sam who is word tory. even one does where of the victims scream more than others, but all are ultimately per- suaded that it is for the good of the people and end up by being reconeiled to the burden. Sir Sam we have no doubt, looks at it in that way, as a burden, a sort of war stamp he is obliged to carry in order to help his country. In time he will get used to his title, He will find it specially ser- viceable in Ottawa where no five o'clock tea is complete without one. The Rideau Club will think all the more of him for it. It will do much to everawe the arm- chair generals, smoking-room ad- mirals and high-ball colonels who make the capital their head- quarters. One way and another he will find it a handy thing to have in his clothes, It may chafe (Continued on Page Two.) SUBMARINE SINKS TURKI (Special to The Dally News.)

TENDERS ON REDECKING RETURNED UNOPENED On the question of opening the tenders covering the redecking of streets and the construction of the Seal Cove roadway coming up at the council meeting last night, Ald. Dybhavn pointed out that it would be a mistake to hand out a portion of the bonds to con- tractors, as no financial house would care to handle the balance. The lumber had been paid for out of special funds, and the amount would have to be paid in before the end of the year, It seemed to him that the only feasible plan was to sell.the bonds and get the cash, Ald. Beveridge, seconded by Ald. Dybhavn, moved that Terry, Briggs & Slaten’s offer of ninety be accepted, providing that the other option of 95 is not taken up. Ald. Maitland said that he had been in favor of selling the de- bentures from the first and havin? the work done by day labor, and he felt that a great deal of time had been wasted. The motion was carried, Ald. Kerr, returned unopened, ing Ald. Dybhavn’'s felt satisfled that the calling for tenders was a mistake, The mo- tion was carried, Casey, seconded by Ald. moved that the tenders be Since hear- remarks he Football Association meeting tonight in City Hall at 8 o'clock, The city clerk reported to the council last night that the board of works had granted the request of the school board for a side- walk extension on Fraser Streat.
