The excitement in Republican circles over the release of de Valera exceeds all bounds. It was received in other circles with relief, and the release of Stack enhances that feel- ing. Stack’s name was mentioned earlier in the day in connection with an application by Stephen O’Mara, de- fendant in the Dail funds case. and the court decreed that he be allowed to give evidence. A despatch from Dublin sayszâ€"De Valera and Austin Stack were released from Arbor Hill barracks. The or- der for their release was signed by President Cosgrave. There was no demonstration of any kind as they left their prison mates, although the release was not altogether unexpect- ed. It is stated further releases will be made during the next 24 hours. DeValera Released Those ‘who successfully made the climb were: Cyril G. Wates, Edmon- ton, Alta.; M. D. Geddes, Toronto, Ont., and Val. A. Fynn, St. Louis, Mo.

Soviet Ship of War to Visit British Ports Great Britain Has Received Bulk of Argentine Crop and Australian Grain Sold. London, July 18.â€"“The size of the Canadian crop,” says the London Times, “is now a matter of great imâ€" portance, because the bulk of the last "Argentine crop has been shipped and Ia large proportion of the Australian lcrop has been exported to China and ‘Japan. In fact much of the upward movement in the price of wheat is iattributed to the failure of crops in the Far East, which led to large ex- ports of grain from Australia and the Pacific coast, and North American in- ternal consumption accounts to an in-‘ creasing extent for the large propor-‘ ‘tion of grain grown in the United States. There has, within the last few weeks, been some little inquiry for the tonnage to load grain in South Russia, but it is plain that the supply of grain in Russia will not be nearly sufficient for internal consump- tion, and British business men are be ginning to give up hope of seeing supplies worth having coming from that unhappy country in the early future at any rate. So the centre of interest is Canada, and any report on the condition of the Canadian grain crop have their effect on prices." ’rince of Wales Greets U.S. Around-World Fliers DEPENDS ON CANADA FOR GRAIN SUPPLIES tographed aboa a ; BRITISH FLIER SAFE; 3': FORCED DOWN BY FOG ago Alberta was lmpqrgin some instances} from China week's 9 1.500000 38K was uni landing a lake 0 out the Tokio, July 18.â€"Dense fog forced the MacLaren party of British round- the-world aviators, who hopped off from Lake Toshimoye, on Yetorofu Island, last Wednesday, to land at Uruppu, a neighboring island, soon 'after taking flight, said wireless ad- !vices received from the Kurile Islands ,toâ€"day.
