Edward Kemp, former minis- ter of defense for Canada, who died near Bobcaygeon, Ontario, yesterday, at the age of 71. The Daily Telegraph remarks. that, heavy as was his duty in conveying the Canadians to the battlefront, it was as nothing to the problem that faced Sir Edward when the time ar- rived for repatriation.

Considering all the imediments facing the ministry for overseas for- ces, it was creditable that it accom- plished the greater part of the re- patriation work early in the summer of 1919."

POSTPONE FLIGHT OF GRAF ZEPPELIN Will Carry Sixty Passengers on Trip to Tokyo Friedrichshafen, Germany, Aug, 13 ---Dr. Hugo Eckener, after a "cabinet meeting" with his chief officers, to- day decided to postpone the start of the Graf Zeppelin for Tokyo on the second lap of its round the world flight until the early morning hours of Thursday. Weather reports received during the night indicated a low pressure area over Siberia more rapidly than had appeared yess terday afternoon. With a day's delay therc was still hope that Dr. Eck- ener might be able to choose the great circle route west of the Bo- hemian mountains to - Koenigsberg into Russia. Even should this hope be disappointed and he must, as yes- terday seemed inevitable, choose a route along the Danube, the zeppe- lin officers are convinced another day's wait will prove advantageous. Sixty human beings will board the zeppelin on the Tokyo flight, Cap- tain Von Schiller stated.

E. Corbett, Dean of the Law Faculty of McGill: Uni- versity, discussed the proposed St. Lawrence Waterway and outlined the attittide of the Canadian government to the project. "The Canadian government in its correspondence with the United Sta- tes government has suggested that, if the scheme is proceeded with, the national section of the St. Lawrence should be developed first and the in- ternational section should not be de- veloped until Canada has had time to absorb the new power produced in the national section," he said. "A matter which has caused Can- ada to hold back in the negotiations is the uncertainty regarding the re- spective powers and rights of the fe- deral and provincial governments in regard to waters." Another factor which had delayed negotiations somewhat, he said, was the Canadian government's = reluct- ance to commit the country to heavy expenditures before' it had fully re- covered from the cost of the Great War."

Hon.Philip Snow- den's demand for a. larger British share of German reparations than that allotted in the Young plan was made by professor Herbert Heaton, economist of the University of Min- nesota and a native of England. Snowden was justified in his objec- tions to the desertion of the SPA per- centage and the distribution of un- conditional German 'payments, Pro- fessor Heaton declared.

INCREASE DIVORCE FACILITIES FOR POOR I5 PROPOSED Law at Present Looked Upon As Made for Rich People Only London, Aug. 13--Facilities for obtaining divorce at the 'minimum expens will be extended 'if the re- commendations of the government committee, published today, are adopted, Before 1922, divorces were granted only + in « the High Court Division, sitting * in London. For many years this system was widely condemned as virtually limigating divorce to those with long purses, able to afford the expense of bring- ing witnesses to London and bearing heavy legal costs, Accordingly in 1922 it was ordain« ed that divorce proceedings of a cer« tain class could be taken at selected assizes in the country. Out of 60 assize towns, however, only 19 were selected. The committee now recommends eight other assize towns should be added to those where divorce pro- ceedings can be taken, The committee admits that in principle there is no reason why divorce cases should not be heard in every assize town, bubt in prac tice they apprehend there would' be danger, because assize registrars who undertake the preliminary work have no experience of divorce law. and practice.
