It was a little toe closa and I saw Chapman duck his head in an effort to get out of the path .of the ball, He was too late, however, and a second later he fell to the ground. It was the most regrettable incident of my career and I would 'give anything if I could undo what has happened."

PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO BUILD OWN HOUSES There Are Too Many More At- active Investments. at Hand. : Winnipeg, Aug. 18.--Winnipeég has entered on a new age so far as housebuilding is concerned, accord- ing to an opinion expressed by N. T. MacMillan, president of the Build- ing Owners' Association here. He said that private capital would not, under present conditions, invest in houses for revenue purposes for the simple reason that there were too more attractive investments. "As far as I can see," sajd Mr: Mc- Millan, "people in the future will have to build their own houses if they want them. They will have to look upon a house as a personal ne- cessity, just as they consider a suit of clothes, and a pair of shoes as indis- pensable and they will recognize the fact that they gust provide the house just as they do the wearing apparel." 3 Mr. MacMillan declayréd 'that the only way to make the building of houses attractive to te capital, was to make it reasonably remunéra- tive. He believed that those who now owned houses for rental purpos- es, would be forced to increase their rents and that new houses for rental purposes would not be built until a reasonably profitable basis of revenue had been established. ns $ret eeniee + A PREMIER'S TRIBUTE * TO HIS HOME TOWN + ; + St. Mary's, Aug. 18.-- "St. ary's is still St. Mary's," said ¢ on."

THE U.S. TARIFF MADE THE BIG ISSUE Washington, Aug. 18.--Ever since Senator Harding declared that it} elected president he would call for the "saving Americanism" of the pro- tective tariff policy, thére has been a strong undercurrent of tariff-reform talk which some Republican leaders are now seeking to force to the sur- face as one of the lively issues of the campaign. The Republican Publecity Assocla- tion, following many informal boosts given to Senator Harding's tariff-reyision-upward promises by various Republican leaders of strong protection leanings, took the lead to- day in advocating the tariff as an Issue, and presented interesting fig- ures on the subject. Contrasting the revenue results to the country under Democratic and Republican rule, the Republican As- sociation points out that seven years of American import trade, under the Democratic tariff law, 1914-1920, in- clusive, brought into this eountry goods aggregating nearly $20,000, 000,000 in value, and brought cus< toms duties into the treasury in the sum of $1,631,000,000. Under Re- piblican protection for seven years previous, 1907-1913, inclusive, the association discloses American im- ports aggregating $10,000,000,000 in value, but boosted Federal revenues by $2,200,000,000.

Their estimates are thet the Soviets have some 800,000 troops on the Polish front and 100,000 reserves available elsewhere, General Wrangel's recognition by France and the announcement that a French diplomat would sent here immediately, caused 8g rejoicing in the south Russian army, which ex- pects other European powers to fol- low the action of the French govern- ment. Peter Struve, Wrangel's minister of foreign affairs, returning from Paris, told the Associated Press cor- respondent 'that all south Russia would rally to the General's com- mand. Wrangel's policy is actually giving the land to the peasants and promis- ing that the government will stand between them and the old owners and will grant them "new papers." ; General Wrangel is assuring the {land owners that they will be paid eevntually for the property, the re- muneration to be determined by a popularly elected assembly, As a guarantee of his good faith, the gen- eral's wife, Baroness Wrangel, went to her own estates in northern Crimea and personally supervised di- vision of her land among the péa- sants.
