Peter Smirlies, of Grand Rapids, F‘Tich., the millionaire Greek pool room man, While on a business trip To London, Ont, recently declared that throughout Canada and the Unit.- ed States there are 100,000 Greeks who could be easily mobilized to help in the defence of Canada from any invasion of Germans. It is further reported that the Mid- land Railway Co. of England will give the line, which is to run to their docks at Heysham, near Liverpool, very low rates in the hope of develop- ing transocean tradeâ€"Montreal Star. The next season will see a new steamship line running from Mont- real to England in competition with the North Atlantic shipping pool, ac- cording to the latest report in ship- ping circles. The new line, it is de- clared, is only incidental to a co- operative enterprize being organized in Montreal. In conjunction with the incorporation of the co-operative a society steamship charter is to be ask- ed for. The steamers will carry what- ever goods are imported by the co- operative society.

He first came into prominence as: junior counsel for the Crown in the! and later, as Attorney-General of the : province, strengthened his position:I in legal circles. He subsequently sat: for two terms at Ottawa, but for the’ s past ten years has devoted himself to his practice in Montreal.â€"-W. A. Craick in Toronto Star Weekly. , The Casgrains have always been noted for brain power, and such of them as attended college invariably stood high in point of scholarship. The new Postmaster-General was no exception. He was sent to Quebec for his education, and there at the Little Seminary and later at Laval University he distinguished himself for his intellectual ability. Hon. '1‘. C. Casgrain Comes of Long Line of Public Men. Few families in Canada enjoy a record of public service superior to that of the distinguished French- Canadian family to which the new Postmaster-General, the Hon. T. Chase Casgrain, K.C.. belongs. While many of the famous old-time Quebec families have become decadent in these days, the Casgrains have con- tinued to flourish and to grow ever more influential. In the person at the new Cabinet Minister they attain to the highest point of their advance- ment. Mr. Casgrain’s ther, the late Dr. C. E. Casgrain, Windsor, Ontario, was the first French-Canadian to be elevated to the Senate. He was a medical man of considerable distinc- tion, who occupied a prominent place among his compatriots in the west- ern counties of Ontario. His father in turn was the Hon. C. E. Casgrain, of Riviere-Ouelle, Quebec, who at the time of his death was one of the two Commissioners of Public Works of the Province of Canada. Earlier in life he had been a member of Parlia- ment for Lower Canada. The circumstance that the Post- master~General was born in Detroit was probably due to the fact that his grandmother’s family, the Babys, has been old residents of that city. His father, when he had completed his medical course at McGill University and had come to the point of secur- ing a place in which to practice, quite naturally was led to choose Detroit, as having a certain appeal through early associations of the Baby family with it. Here he resided for several years, marrying a Detroit girl, Miss Mary Chase, and building up a fair practice. Soon after his eldest son’s birth, he returned to Canadian soil, living first in Sandwich and then in Windsor. The Postmaster-General’s great- grandfather, Pierre Caegrain, was in early life a coureur de bois, who even. tually settled at Riviere-Ouelle, where he purchased a seigniory and became a seigneur and a man of great influence in his part of the country. His father before him, Jean Casgrain, was the founder of the family, who settled in Quebec before the conquest, and did his best to de- fend the ancient capital against the British in 1750. He had been in his early days a soldier in EurOpe. One of Mr. Casgrain’s great aunts married Francois Letellier de St. Just, and was the mother of the Hon. Luc Letellier de St. Just, former Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec, and another became the wife of the Hon. Phillippe Panet and mother of the late Senator Panet, who was for many years Deputy Minister of Milio tia and Defence. A sister of his fath- er was married to the late Sir C. A. P. Pelletier, another of the Lieutenant- Governors of Quebec, and her son is Col. Oscar Pelletier, of the Canadian regular military forces. Incidentally there is another gallant soldier in the family, Philippe Henri du Perron, Casgrain, who after a brilliant career as an officer of the Royal Engineers resigned his commission to take holy orders. It is now reported that this Abbe Casgrain has again taken up arms for his sovereign in the present crisis. __ -__ 'I" Collateral branches of the family have also contributed notable names to- Canadian history. Mr. Casgrain’s uncle, P. B. Casgrain, who is still liv- ing at an advzmoed age in Quebec City, was for twenty years M. P. for L’Islet. Oddly enough he is a Libâ€" eral, and his son, the Hon. J. S. B. Casgrain, is to-day a. Liberal Senator. Another uncle was the famous Abbe Casgrain, the Canadian his orian, whose books are w ell known to stu- dents of history. A DISTINGUISHED FAMILY. to Mr. 'A.
