In the army thus sent was James Wolfe. He had recently been made @ general and took part in the six-months' siege of Loulsburg. It was chiefiyt due to him that the town was at last captured. Wolfe wisely saw tha® France's chief American foothold was Canada, and that the strategic ki to Canafla’s power was Quebec. He demanded that his associates mar at once against this stronghold. Those fellow-ofMficers of his refused, pointe ing out that the city was too well garrisoned and supplied, and that so smal> a force as that of the English could never hope to break through the im pregnable French defenses. Wolfe could not be made to see the foolhard}. ness of the plan and threatened to leave the army !f it were not carried jout. As a result, in the following year he was sent in sole command of 8,000 men with orders to take Quebec. i He attacked and was driven back with great loss.

ELLING property to the city is a common way to get a higher price than its market value, The scandals which have been disclosed are only a small fraction of the robberies perpetrated upon the taxpayers in the acquisition of sites for public buildings and small parks.
