A petition by Illinois to increare it diversicn of water from the Lakes-St. Lawrence system througi the Chicago drainage canal was aen led today by the United States Supreme Court This action was taken in an order saying that a report by the pecul master appointed by the couri wa confirmed.

Justice Black dissented and Justice Murphy did not participate. This action represents another step in the 19-ear-old controversy over the amount of water the state should have. Monte M. Lemann, New Orteans attorney appointed special master by the Supreme Court to investigate Illinois' contentions, had rercm-mended that the increase be demed. Six Great Lakes states Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania.

Michigan and New York alo opposed the application on the ground that the level of the Great Laei would be lowered. Illinois contended a temporary increase was necesrv dur.r.g the summerf of 1341 and 1942 to relieve what was described as an "unhealthy and dangerous condition" existing in the Illinois waterway and tha sanitary district canals. By the end of 1942, the siate added, sewage disposal plants would be completed. Lemann said the request would amount, on an annual basii, to an increase of 2,000 cubic feet a second in 1941 and 1.250 in 1942 abova the 1,500 permitted by the Suprem Court in a 1930 decree. The special master asserted in hia April 2 report that if wer denied "the authorities of the sanitary district may be spurred to increased efforts in the treatment ol Chicago sewage."

SEPARATION CASE ENDS Judge Bars Intervention by Third Parties An action for separation as to bed and board by a wife against her husband is enUrely a personal action, and not to be taken up by third parties, Chief Justice Greenshields ruled in a judg-nrnt handed down in the Superior Court yesterday. The case before His Lordship wss that of a petition by Alidor Denun-tigny and Euclid Demontigny to be allowed to take up the instance in the action entered by Mrs.

Ubald Demontigny against her husband. While awaiting hearing the husband died. Before doing so, however, he had made a will leaving everything he possessed to the two petitioners. The object of an action of this nature, said His Lordship, in dismissing the petition, was to separate husband and wife. When the husband had died that purpose had been accomplished, and there was no purpose in proceeding with ttm action.

The husband took a cross action against his wife, and the judgment of yesterday puts an end to both; actions. An action for separation ss to bed and board carries with tt, when granted, separation as to property.

Oscar Drouin BACKS VICTORY LOAN Quebec Minister Says French. Canadians' Love of France Does Not Include Pres.

ent Eulers (Special to The Gazette.) Sherbrooke, May 28. There is only one way in which France will regain her liberty and that is "with the ultimate victory of Great Britain, Hon. Oscar Drouin, Quebec Minister of Municipal Affairs, Trade and Commerce told members cf the Provincial Council cf the Retail Merchants Association of Canada at a meeting here tonight. Urging the merchants to lend their support to the forthcoming Victory Loan Drive, the Minister recalled that during the last war horizon was clouded and victory seemed a long way off, but less than a year later the enemy had capitulated." Mr. Drouin declared that French Canadians in the province of Quebec had certain sentimental and cultural attachments to the country cf their ancestors.

France, but that, while this attachment was as strong as ever today, the attachment is to the country and not to certain parties who want to collaborate wjth the Axis powers." "We are in this war to win it, and if these people want to collaborate with the Axis, well, they can't expect that we will continue to re. fret them," said the Minister. "There is only one way in which France can once again regain the liberty which existed there for hundreds of years and that is by the ultimate victory of Great Britain." Mr. Drouin said that recent events have proved that the battle is coming "closer to home," and that the attacks of the enemy must be met with fortitude and courage. He said the anxiety of the French Canadian was doubled with the prospect of "a country which is dear to them collaborating with the enemy," but Mid he -was confident that French Canadians would "remain faithful to the characteristics of the people cf tnat country but would make a difference between the country itself and what it stood for and certain heads of government who are new in power.

The Minister said that "regardless of what attachment we might have for another country, France, we cannot help but to continue the fight on the side of England and pay our part in bringing this fight to a successf ul conclusion. The only possible successful conclusion is the downfall of Hitler." ROYALTY IS HOLIDAYING Young: Luxeaabourgois and Austrians to U.S. North Bay, May 26.

We are awaiting his definite concurrence. "The proposed program would be in the nature of a message from Mr. King to the people of Britain and a response by Mr. Churchill." At the Prime Minister's office here a spokesman said it was possible Mr. King would deliver his message even if Mr.

Churchill is unable to participate in the June 1 program, but that definite cr-rangements have not been completed in that regard.

Albert Lewis Badly Hurt in Crash Injured in an R.C.A.F. plane crash in the 'vicinity of Rigaud, yesterday, LAC Albert Lewis, 19-year-old Montrealer, was brought to Montreal Neurological Institute last in a serious condition. The victim, a son of Mrs.

Mary Lewis, of 6133 Sherbrooke street west, was reported to be suffering from a broken back, a broken leg, a broken nose and other injuries still undetermined. He was still on the operating table at the M.N.I, at an early hour this morning.

They asked the Government to withdraw this amount from their trust fund held by the Department of Indian Affairs. a hit with a torpedo on the Bismarck. The hunt continues." A torpedo hit on one German warship among the fleeing squadron was scored Saturday, the Admiralty already had announced, but that victim was not more specifically identified. The attack upon the Bismarck raised British hopes that the Royal Navy had control of the area about the scene of the running battle and thus would be able both to attack aerially and to keep the Germans under constant surveillance. Naval sources maintained strict silence when questioned about Oslo, German-held Norway, radio reports that the Bismarck and other German units are fighting a superior British naval squadron in the Denmark strait between Iceland and Greenland, It was pome-where in this area that the Hood, the biggest ship in the British fleet, went down with an "unlucky hit" in a magazine.

Word that the fleet had the Germans under fire ended a period of concern here as to whether the Bismarck would be able to get away unhurt. This was based upon speculation that the Tirpitz, a sister ship to the Bismarck, might be with her, and also lack of information as to who had aerial mastery in the area. If the Tirpitz is fn fact with the German squadron, Britain might be hard put to summon quickly a force sufficient for a showdown battle. Presumably the only British ships able approximately to match the Bismarck and Tirpitz in both fire power and speed are the new King George and Prince of Wales and the battle cruisers Renown and Repulse. Possibly some of these now are in the Mediterranean.

The announcemnt that British naval torpedo planes had scored a hit dn the Bismarck was cheering to the people here, however, for it suggested that the pursuing 3ritish forces included an aircraft carrier that might be able to assure British mastery of the air. The press played up not only the story of the chase of the Bismarck, but also the challenge to the United States laid down by the Grand Admiral Erich Raeder in stating that United States convoying of contraband for Britain would be "an open war act." Officially Britain took a distant attitude on the Admiral's threat, authoritative persons saying it was "strictly a matter between Germany and the United States." The newspapers however usd such headlines a3 "Raeder Dares U.S.A.." and "Raeder Threatens U.S. Ships." him from plunging unconscious into th swift mountain river. Hartman clung to the tie until his brother, Oscar, and the conductor of the train pulled the two to safety. Arthur was brought to a Denver hospital aboard the train.

Physicians said he had an even chance to live. RAIN ENDS THREAT OF FOREST BLAZES Men Still Keep on Scorched Earth After Downpour Douses Flames (Special to The Gazette.) St. Donat, May 26.
