Tintcs aat Thuls . In thinking over the rapidly moving events of the past week, it may have occurred to some that a lastâ€"minute "sixteenâ€"point"‘ proposal of Germany to Poland received less attention than it deserved since it exhibited a new attitude and considerably modified Herr Hitlbr"a mfihr CORBIIE®ADIY PC ODO _ IL LiAE Domenests terms. The fact is that the proposal in question was never presented to Poland and was never intended to be presented to Poland. It was & trick document prepared in order to create the impression at home and abroad that Hitler was making every effort to conciliate the Poles and avoid war. The very opposite was the case. The text of the correspondence between Britain and Germany on the eve of Germany‘s invasion of Poland is revealing on this point. Germany said she would negotiate with Poland, not through the latter‘s ambassador in the regular way, but if the British government would secure the dispatch to Berlin of "a Polish emissary with full powers," who must arrive next day,. "In the meantime the German government will immediately draw up proposals for a solution acceptable to themselves, and will if possible place these at the disposal of the British government before the arrival of the Polish negotiator." That was the setâ€"up. A Polish representative must arrive in 24 hours with power to sign a set of terms acceptable to Germany which Poland had never seen. The British government replied that it was of course unreasonable to expect that they could produce such a Polish negotiator in Berlin on such short notice. Herr Ribbentrop‘s answer at midnight, August 80, was to produce "a long document which he read out rapidly in German" to the British ambassador. This contained the "sixâ€" teen points" which represented Hitler‘s supâ€" posedly modified attitude. But when the amâ€" bassador asked for the text of these proposals, the answer was that it was now too late, as the Polish negotiator demanded by Germany had. not arrived. As for the Polish ambassador, he was not received by Von Ribbentrop until the evening of August 31, after which interview the German government broadcast their proâ€" Tc Warem.00 CrRoOmCLILE posals. The ambassador at once tried to estab-l lish contact with Warsaw, but was unable to do so because all means of communication with Poland had been cut off by the Germans preâ€" paratory to their invasion. In his message broadcast to the German people, Premier Chamberlain deals with this bogus sixteenâ€"point peace offer in the following language: "The offer was made to the Polish ambassador at Berlin two hours before anâ€" nouncement by your Berlin government that it had been ‘rejected‘. Far from it having been rejected, there had been ro time even to conâ€" sider it. Your German government had preâ€" viuosly demanded that a Polish representative should be sent from Poland within 24 hours to conclude an agreement. At that time the sixâ€" teen points subsequently put forward had not been indicated to the Polish government. The Polish government‘s representative was expectâ€" ed to arrive within the fixed time to sign an agreement which he had not seen." WHERE DO YOU PARK YOUR CAR? John Kirkwood in Markeling: We are frequently hearing about the complaints of storekeepers in our larger towns about the visitors to the town parking their cars on the main street, in front of stores, thus making it difficult for customers having cars to get through the barricade, to enter the store, or to take out parcels to the car. In one town the man appointed to report on this parking nuisance checked up on the cars standing in front of stores, and found that 40 of them were the cars of the propriectors of the stores! When he pointed out how they themselves were he.vy‘ contributors to the situation of which they had comâ€" plained to the town council, they replied, "Of course we park our cars in front of our own store. Who has a better right to do so?" We heard complaints along similar lines in Brampton. GERMAN CONSUL SAYS CANADIAN SHIPS MAY EXPECT SAME AS ATHENIA HITLER‘S BOGUS SIXTEEN POINTS (By Harold Dingman) ‘ (The Globe and Mail) OTTAWA, Sept. 4. â€"Dr. Erich Windels, _ the German _ Consulâ€" General in Canada, who enjoys diplomatic freedom and privileges under the British Flag, told me toâ€" day that Canadian ships of British registry could expect to be torâ€" edoed and attacked by the German ghyy if they ventured out on the high seas. A moment later, in a cold fury, he told me that if I published any statement he would brand my story "an impudent lie and an act of propaganda." This amazing interview took place in the offices of the Consulâ€"General on the ninth floor of the Victoria Building, just across the street from the House of Commons. After telling me I could fully exâ€" pect my fellowâ€"Canadians to be murdered at sea, Dr. Windels tried to invoke the code of henor which| "I think i exists among all newspapermen by|Canadian Pac telling me that what he had said|people will nc was confidential, and that he wasinot taking a not giving an interview.

I went to see him to ask him if he intended to reâ€" main in Canada. He said hbe "firmly intended to remain." He invited me ‘jnto his office, offered me a cigarâ€" ette, and then motioned for me to take a chair. He seated himself and began to chat. When I asked him about his fuâ€" ture plans he told me that 1 should direct my questions to the Departâ€" ment of External Affairs, but, he added, he intended to stay. "Firmly _ intended," were his words. We then got around to the subâ€" ject of the war and he said that Germany had no intention of "taking any action against the Doâ€" minion." "What about our shipping asked him. s _ He '"r';;'gned: "Well, Canadian Pacific ips â€" are registered in Britain. They are not ln_-dhn_." "I think if Germany torpedoes Canadian Pacific ships, t{e Canadian people will not feel that Germany is not taking any action against the Dominion," I answered.

For instance, the weekly published at Antigonish, Nove J Another rather uncommon newspaper name is overâ€" looked by The Times Review when no mention is made of the little newspaper piblished at Banff, AMorts. It is called "The Crag an@ Camyon." Others everlooked in the list arethe fqllowing:â€"‘"The Clipper" published at Czar, AWberta; ‘"The Commoner," Enderly, B.C.; ‘The Kootenaiun", Kalso, BXC.; "The Town Crier", at Powell River, BXC.; ‘"The Junction Judge", Hudson Bay Juncâ€" tion, Saskatchewan; "The Happyland. Bpokesman," Leader, Saskatchewan; "The Rye Witness", Birtle, Man.; "The Village Post," at Forest Hill, Ont.; "The Coast Guard," at SheFbourne, N.S. > At Watrous, Manitoba, the newspaper bears the ° nameâ€"certainly odd and unusual enoughâ€"of "l'ho't Manitou.‘ ‘The popular translation of the Indian 'oNl!J "Manitou" is "The Great Spirit", so the Watrous weekly can scarcely be accused of criminal modesty. I' Two newspapers whose titles suggest the modern touch are ‘"The Radio®" published at Kelvington, Sask., and ‘"The iBroadcast" at Lonely Lake, also in Saskaâ€" tchewan In passing it may ‘be noted that the oddest and most unusual names for newspapers appear to be found chiefly in the Wost. Saskatchewan, particularly, ||eemc to have more than its share of weekly newsâ€" papers with names that are out of the ordinary. ‘The Timesâ€"Review has a special word for "The Jellicoe District Booster", published at the new town of Jellicoe, Ont. The name is unusual all right, but the practice suggested is the common one for all weekly newspapers in Canada. In reference to ‘"‘Booster" as & newspaper title, many will recall "The Broke Hustler", published at Iroquois Falls some years ago. It was & Hustler all right, but there was nothing "Broke" about it, this weekly having the backing of the Abitibi Power & Paper Co., then a very flourishing and progressive concern. The name "Broke Hustler" was not conferred for ts common meaning, ‘but in honour of the paper mill worker whose duty it is to see that no waste paper is allowed to lie around the floors of the mill.. in some of the names of Western newspapers there appears to be a tendency to be facetious. Ontario, on the other hand ewidently avoids that sort of thing, perâ€" haps ibecause it has not proved a happy omen in the past. For instance, it may be recalled that a gentleman who some years ago sought to establish a newspaper at the town of Ayr in Ontario, christened it "The Ayr Gun." ‘This breach of the commonplace seemed unforâ€" tunate for after only a couple of issues "The Gun" blew up. Canada is full of "Suns" and "Stars" and "Globes" and "Worlds", and there are a couple of ‘"‘Moons" in the West. Common are such newspaper names as ‘"The Press", "The News", ‘"The Times", ‘"The Reporter", "The Gazette", "The Advertiser", ‘"The Express", "The Herald," "The Journal," ‘"The Observer". Some time| when someone has time to spare, it would be hnerut-: ing for that someone to go through the long list, clasaiâ€" ‘ty it and decide what is the most common newspopor] name. In any event ‘"The Advance" is not the most common or commonplace. There are several "Advances"‘ in Ontario, and a few in other provinces. For The Porâ€" cupine Advance, however, the title is at least approâ€" priate without being too ordinary. ‘The Porcupine Adâ€" vance and the Advance of the Porcupine have been so closely associated that it is "hard to tell tother from which," «er wonds to that effect. And that is no free advertisement for The Advance. But simply the plain |truth pitchforked into pléce. It is impossible to keep the truth out of Advance editorials. Maeny thanks! In its uncommon newspaper names, Ontario seems to hold to the dignified and impressive. There is a "Lanlet" at Elgin, Manitoba, but in Ontatio there is ‘‘The Elmvale Lance", Glencoe has its ‘‘Transcript". Mount Forest onco.hnd both a ‘"Representative" and a "Confederate," but now the "Confederate" has taken over the ‘"Representative." Brampton, with its ‘"Conâ€" servator", Simcoe with its "Reformer", Highgate with its "Monitor‘, Perth with its "Courier‘, Lindsay with its "Watchmanâ€"Warder," combine the unusual with digâ€" nity and decorum. Huntingdon, Quebec, with its gifted "Gleaner" shares newspaper name honours with Ontario, for Cannington in this province also has its "Gleaner‘. In conclusion, it is fitting to call attention to the fact that Bowmanville, Ontario takes pride in its "Statese man," perhaps, with the note of regret that there doesn‘t seem to be a "Statesman" at Ottawa these deâ€" pressing days. not come into ODD NEWSPAPER NAMES 99 his offices under false pretenses. I had announced my name and my paper. _ _ oo Growing angry, he declared I "must not" write anything without his permission. "If anything is written without my authorization, I will brand it an impudent lie and an act of propaganda," he declared. "Hf you write anything you must first submit it to me for my authorâ€" ization." The interview was over. We were standing now and there was black rage in his face. He strode to the door and opened it. _ _ It was about 3.30 in the afternoon when I went to see the German Consul. I had interviewed him beâ€" fore and found him always courâ€" teous and friendly. Outer Door Locked. Today 1 found the outer door to his offices locked, which is unusual. I stood outside a moment and the door was opened by a plump Gerâ€" man girl, presumably the secretary. _‘"May I see Dr. Windels?" I asked. "I am from The Globe and Mail, Toronto." 1 entered the outer offices and stood at a desk leafing through Gerâ€" man magazines piled there. The secretary came back in a moment and asked my name. I gave it, and she disappeared into an inner office, returning in just a moment to say that if I would wait the Consul would see me. ‘"Well, he is busy," she replied "Just a moment." Dr. Windels was as courteous as ever when he called me in in a few minutes, .Itho\‘h he did not offer his hand as he had done on a preâ€" vious occasion. "To what do 1 owe this pleasure?" he asked, opening a tin of ct:nrettel and indicating a chair which I was to take. The interview lasted about five minutes.

A few minutes later the Prime Minister made a formal report to Parliament of the declaration of war while members of all parties pledged themselves to throw their whole weight behind Britain in the hour of trial. | London took the declaration of war calmly. There was no waving of flags, no playing of bands, no cheering in the streets, no mass histrionics. On every man‘s face there was a look of relief and deterâ€" minationâ€"relief that the long weeks of tension and uncertainty were over, determination to see this this thing through to the end. Gmaill crouns of people strolled in the streets as on an Small groups of people strolled in the streets as on an ordinary Sunday, but with this difference.

Within a few minutes after the Prime Minister ceased speaking the whole of the south side of the street was packed with men and women, while still more hurried up. But while the crowd waited, tense and expectant, there came an unexpected interruption which quickly scattered it. SIRENS SCATTER CROWD. All over the city sirens began to hoot the warning of air raid. ‘"Toohoo! Toohoo! Toohoo!" London knows that sound well. Police whistles shrilled, and within five minutes the streets were empty save for those whose business it is to be there in time of danger with only such shelter as a convenient doorway affords. Ambassadors, peers and members of the House of Comâ€" mons who were on their way to the Parliamentary session summoned for noon had to halt their motors and seek shelter in the nearest refuge. Many of them missed the first part of Mr. Chamberlain‘s subsequent statement to the House. The "allâ€"clear‘"‘ signal sounded just as he rose to speak. FRIENDLY PLANE MISTAKEN. ‘ It had been a false alarm. A plane approaching the south coast had been mistaken for the advance guard of a hostile air fleet. Taking no chances, the warning had been given. But a lfew minutes later the plane had been identified as friendly, and the "allâ€"clear" release was sent out. o l:at(;r:â€"m a five minute speech before the House of Comâ€" mons, Mr. Chamberlain declared: "It is a sad day for all of us, but for none is it sadder than for me.
