Ottawa, Ont., Nov. 3—The Canadi- an government tonight gave out = a statement of the expenditures on ac- count of the war which says: ada’s war expenditures for next year will be very Jarge. About $1,» 000 per man is calculated as the cost of “raising, equipping and mn.mmn- mg our troops at the front and under Canada.’ ‘In this war the es- tlmnta probably will' be exceeded on account of the enormous expenditures of ammunition and the heavy strain upon the artillery and rifles. ‘“Canada’s War ex) charges in connection with this and war expenditures will amount to past wa over $15,000,000 ‘ayear.” v $200,000 FUND TO BRING CAPTUIE‘ OF ONE OF GERMANY’S | c; LATEST SUPER-SUBMARINES Report Published in Lendon Daily | Pfl—-c.uflnlnl'l'rlp = Lierpool, Nflv‘l,ilb Iy Daily Post- publishes, rcpwl #he capture of dme ot Ger = Iatest | committ -uung tq briaz the ¢ co ee az the ¢ton- Chicago.

What the Government Claims. The government alleges that this line was eventually acquired by the New Haven and secretly operated as an independent to drive another inde- pendent line out of business. The tes- timony today, which consisted chiefly of ‘the reading of letters. written by the late John M. Hall, president of the New Haven, was intended to show how the competition of the Joy line between New York and Providence became in 1900 a thorn in the side of the New Haven. Competition Growing Serious. On July 3 100, Hall wiote o 3. W. Miller, the New en marine super- Intendent in New Tork, that this tihe Joy line) competition is getting seri- ous and will have to be treated in some way, although it is ‘difficalt in view of the state of public feeling in Providence.” i On July 10 Hall wrote to Edward Bucklund, an attorn New Haven in Provi to eriticlsm of the New Providence Journal and stated that the New Haven would reduce its steamboat from that city to New York to probably [; Winte the:New Haven president. “that this is done to out the business of the Joy line, but you and I [now that we have ed to the urgent demand of the people of Provi- dence for cheaper ques- tioned . thereon, avoid.any allusion to the Joy Steamship company or any statement that we are putting on this servico to interfere with them. Say that we are simply trying an experi- ment tc see if the people appreciate a cheap excursion service." Dollar Rate Competition. On the same day Hall wrote to J. M. Williams, general freight agent of ‘Said “We Will Make It Ex¢eedingly Warm for Anybody Boston that the New Haven was phit- ting on_the steamship Massachusetts to run from Providence at the dollar rate in competition with the Joy line ‘steame: Martinique and on a schedule that would bring it to its destination a little abead of the Martinique. “Give Few Passes.” “Of course, you do mot know any- thing sbout the Joy line in this mat- fer;” the letter added. *1 imagine they are giving away few passes” Hall wrote to Williams on Aug. 3 _in reference to the business of the Joy line, “but we shall not induige in that luxury except a very few carefully dis- tribufed for Sunday excursions to Martha's Vineyard. A few months later a tion to sell the Joy line to the New Haven came up, but was not scted upon st that: time, according to corrsspondenics that passed between Hall and Charles F.. Brocker of -Ansonia, Conn., one of the defendant directors. ~Brooker on Nov. 27 wrote ta Hall: “Do you want to say anything about the Joy line? Am told outside parties are regotiating with Dumbaugh (pres- ident of the Joy line). If you want to Yook Intc it, let me know.” Wouldn’t Buy Joy Line. “Wag certainly do not want to buy the Joy line,” Hall replied in a letter two days later, giving as a reason that it bad néthing to sell but “one mw- Z &d steamer and the lease of dock" “But we will make. it -:cnflmw warm.” he added, “for lnybodv does tuy it, as long as this opppsi= tion continues.” A -Heated ww The introduction of which were read by Junn- ‘W.
