LONDON WAKES UPTO LIGHTING: Flood Effects Are Some- thing New For English City London.--Compared with many cities on the other side of the At- lantic London knows little or noth- ing of flood-lighting. Her education in this respect, however, will be ad- vanced early in September when the International Illumination Congress mects here." The long frontages of Buckingham Palace and the Na- tional Gallery will both be illumin- ated. Incidentally it may here be said that Canada House, whic) is a near neighbor of the National Gal- 'lery, has been a conspicuous lead- er in flood-lighting ever since it was opened some few years ago. - The graces of many a church spire down in the City, built by Christopher Wren, will also be revealed by night as well as by day. The Interna- tional Illumination Congress will pursue its deliberations in Edin- burgh. -Here the Castle will also show forth its rugged grandeur af- ter sunset. The Admiralty are as- sisting in the London programme by bringing a gunboat to throw its beams upon the City from the Pool below London Bridge. Following 'this Congress will be the Faraday Centenary celebrations. The chief feature of these will be a great exhibition in the Albert Hall of personal relics and of Faraday's pioneer work in electricity. r------ a n-- Anderson's MEN'S WEAR, LTD.

My message of welcome to the British Empire Ser- vice League is primarily one of sincere apprecia- tion of the services its members have rendered and are stil rendering to the Empire. There are some things that should ne- ver be forgotten, and, in truth, are long remembered. History presents no more glorious pages than were written in the deeds and the lives of the men who at the greatest crisis stood between the Empire and disaster. We would be unworthy of the great sac- rifices that were made, and the decisive victories won if we failed to respond to the sentiments of grati- tude and admiration which are evoked by the assem- blage of the League and its illustrious leaders. My hope is that their patriot- ism and their self-sacrifice will inspire us all to great- and a and for the Empire. GEORGE S. HENRY, Prime Minister of 'Ontario. A Message From R. B. Bennett I am only too pleased to accede to your request for a message of greetings to the members of the Cana- dian Legion in the pro- vince of Ontario, on the oc- casion of their provincial convention in Oshawa. I am, I feel sure, only voicing a sentiment com- mon to all Canadians when I assure you of my deep interest in the welfare and progress of the Ex-Service men's organization. As a period in our history which calls for the best that is in each .of us, I am confident that the members of the Legion will display those qualities of coolness, cour- age, and determination which they exhibited dur- ing the dark days of the Great War, and will, by so doing, give yet another proof of the reality of their motto, "Ex-Service Men Still Serving Canada." Yours sincerely, --R. B. BENNETT ATTEMPTING TO SALVAGE GOLD Divers A Work On| Sunken Steamer Egypt France.-- Divers are attempting to salvage $5,- in gold from the liner Egypt, which sank oft the French coast in 1922, expect to bring tlie treasure to the surface by | the end of August, unless bad weather interferes, The divers, who have been | working in rough waters for | months, put to sea today in the | Artiglio II., on what was expect- ed to be one of the last voyages to the scene of the sunken ship. They said that only the cleaning of an opening to the gold room remained to be accomplished. Enormous steel chains were taken aboard to bring the entire room to the surface. If this 'proved impractical, they planned to cut a hole in the ceiling of the room and raise the ingots by a special mechanical shovel, ITALO-VATIGAN CONTROVERSY Work of Jesuit Priest Did Much For Settlement | | | Brest, who Rome.--The diplomatic skill of of a Jesuit priest brought settle- ment of the Italo-Vatican con- troversy closer to realization. Pope Pius XI and Premier Benito Mussolini will start con- versations immediately to settle the dispute, which arose from the closure of Catholic clubs in Italy and alleged Fascist "insults" to the Pope. The decision was reached after Pope Pius had conferred. secret- ly with the Jesuit, Father Tat- chi Venturi, whose diplomacy and tact were. Instrumental in the Roman question settlement two years ago. Father Venturi was credited with having pre- pared the way for ths negotia- tions which led to the Lateran treaty and ended 60 years of dispute between the Church and the State. As a result of these develop- ments, the priest was delegated by the Pope to open unofficial negotiations with the Italian Government withcut delay, it was said on excellent authority. He will act as a liason between the the head of the Church and 'the head of the Fascist Government, and there are greatly improved chances for success in ending the controversy over the Catholic action, * Previously, it plan. had been negotiations until next month, to permit ill-feeling which arose during the threatened break of diplomatic relations to die. It was generally believed that the dispute would be settled without great difficulty within a short time because both "sides have given clear evidence of eagerness to reach an agreement, The Pope was represented as firmly standing his ground, un- willing to surrender his demands on the Government, but with strong hope for a settlement, Cordial relations between Church and State throughout Italy have been restored within recent weeks and all was believed ready for the final negotiations. UNIFICATION IS MUCH NEARER London, Aug. 25.--Unification of the Anglican and Eastern Or- thodox Churches was believed nearer today as result of the visit of the Archbishop of Canterbury to Palestine last spring. A joint doctrinal commission including representatives of the Anglican communion and the eas- tern churches is expected to meet at Lambeth Palace, residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, on Oct. 15. The Archbishop issued a state- ment revealing that the commis- sion will prepare a joint state- ment showing the theological points on which the two churches are agreed, and also those on which they are divided.

Naturally Mr. Phillips has seen many chang- es since he first became associated with the great Criminal Court. Nowadays juries are locked up over- night only in trials for murder, but Mr. Phillips remembers the time when a jury empanelled to try any charge of felony was forbidden to separate before they had delivered their verdict. Undoubtedly the most exciting scene which Mr. Phillips ever wit- nessed at the Old Bailey was when two men, Fowler and Millsom, stood in the dock together on a charge of murder at Muswell Hill. The jury had just retired to arrive at their verdict, when the bigger prisoner suddenly threw himself upon the smaller companion. The glass and the wood, which surrounded three sides of the dock, were shivered as the men struggled. Gaolers were helpless and constables in Court, to DR. T. E.

So he and his four companions pocketed the $90 and went next door, where they took $4,000 from an office of Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. They forced 20 employees in both offices to lie on the floor. "l trust we shall make you feel quite at home," said an hotel proprietor to his new guest. "I've come away from home to have a jolly good time!" HONEST "Yesterday I was nmeariy drewned, but just as I was going down for the last time, a man dived in and rescued me. When he brought me ashore I gave him a shilling." "Well, what did the man say?" "Nothing. He gave me back sixpence." "You must not fish there. It is my water.' "Is it your water up 'above?'"
