LEAGUF SEEN IN CLOSE-UP Impressions of Visit to Geneva Given lambs active; to choice, $6 to medium kinds and throwouts, Montreal.--It is significant that the new poetry does not throw a romantic, glamorous light over war, but, of the two, it glorifies rather the heroism of everyday life, Mrs. Lewis Jerome Johnson, an officer of the Massachusetts branch of the League of Nations Association, intimated at the be- ginning of an address 'before the Women's Art Society in Steven- gn Hall here recently. The speak- er cited the example of Allan See- ger, who went into the war geeing it with a poet's eye as something majestic and glamorous, but lost his idea of romance in the trench- es and saw instead the stupidity of war and its existence as a mon- ument to the failure of statesmen. Mrs. Johnson, whose address dealt chietly with the League of lost to the world through the war as a reason why a soclety interest. ed in art should be especially in- térested in peace movements. Peace, she remarked, is no long- er merely an emotion; it is a pro- gram. The speaker pointed to the un- guarded frontier between Canada and the United States, who had lived in peace with each other for more than a hundred years, as evidence bf the possibility of con- tinued amity between nations. What is possible for two countries ought to be possible for the world, she suggested. When Woodrow Wilson proposed the covenant of the League of Nations as an ingti- tution for peace he had behind him the history of a country that had developed from thirteen ori- ginal colonies which had brought |.their divisions and hatreds from the old world to the new. The | statesmen who wrote the consti- { tution for the country saw to it that causes for divisions were re- moved as much as possible, so that the country, as it grew, be- came welded together. It was an achiévement for rep- resentatives of fifty-five nations to bury their hatreds and differ- ences and agree on the covenant of the League of Nations. Refer- ring to the Sino-Japanese situa- tion, the speaker thought that the menace of war was not as immin- ent as it would have been fifteen or twenty years ago. At least nel- ther country was willing to incur the world odium of making war. Mrs. Johnson reviewed the composition anq some of the ach- ievements of the League of Na- tions, and went on to tell of a trip she had made to Geneva, She gave a graphic desciption of scenes in the League Council and in the Assembly, particularly on the occasion of the admission of Germany to membership in the League, As a result of inquiries, whether in villages of Cornwall or among the peasants of France, she had come to the conclusion that the people generally looked upon the League of Nations as the hope for world peace. SNOW HAMPERS GOLD PROSPECTING Winnipeg.--Staking of claims at Island Lake in Northern Mani- toba near the Ontario boundary where promising gold showings were found recently is continu- ing. Recently a plane returned to Winnipeg from scene of the gold rush bringing back John Dryborough, who represented a Winnipeg: syndicate.

"The hours which the young man was asked to drive showed very little thought or care on the part of the owner as to the | safety of persons or commented the judge. Garage On Fire Pembroke.--Fire in the garage street, was quickly placed under | control by the firemen, and the loss was not extensive. Three cers | were considerably damaged by smoke, and some articles in the loft were burned, but the building being of concrete, the fire was eas- ily confined and quickly extin- guished.

Waterman Sees No Boycott on Tariff Adjustments Montreal, Dec. 18.--The new tariff adjustments recently intro- duced and passed by the National Government of Great Britain are not a boycott aimed at the goods of any particular country, Is the opinion of Frank D. Waterman, President of the L. E. Waterman Fountain Pen Company, in an in- terview with the press. Mr. Water- man has just returned from a vis- it to England, where he has been studying the situation brought about by Great Britain's change of policy with regard to her tar- iff laws. "The 'Buy British' cam- paign, so splendidly endorsed by the Prince of Wales, is sweeping the country," he sald. Mr, Waterman, who has been on a flying visit to Montreal, where one of the Waterman Foun- tain Pen Company factories has been located for more than twen- ty-five years, believes that the raising of the tariff in Great Brit- ain against goods not manufac- tured within the British Empire will undoubtedly be a great help to Canada. He sald that Mr. Ben- nett, the Prime Minister, had ex- pressed his unbounded faith in the future of Canada and Cana- dian industry while en route to England. "I have also a similar faith in | this country," Mr, Waterman eald, "I believe that if we, the Water- man Fountain Pen Company, con- tinue our present extensive news- paper advertising campaigh, and keep up our high standard-of man. ufacture, therg is a splendid fu- ture in Canada for the market- ing of our goods." Mr, Waterman then intimated' that the Water- | man factory at St. Lambert would | | probably be greatly enlarged in | the near future, as all the com- | pany's products for export to { Great Britain would be manufac- tured at this plant, as well as those which are already being | manufactured for export to the British Dominions. "The enlarge- | ment," he said, "will give increas- ed and steady employment to many Canadians." | ships Pleased With Season Montreal.--The St, season of navigation for Canadian National liners and freighters has been gratifying and the total result. of activity on all routes operated by the Canadian Na tional Steamships during 1931 ds expected to be gratifying, having regard to the abnormal condi- tions to which shipping through- out the world has been subject- ed.

The Canadian National Steam- ships announced today a re-ad- justment in the rates Lady liners operating regular Wset Indies services from Hali- fax and Boston this winter and for the Prince David, which will operate a series of two-weeks Caribbean cruises from Boston. The changes are calculated to benefit married couples occupy- ing an entire room which is in- tended to accommodate more than two persons, Such passen- ers will profit by the change to the extent of from 10 to 15 per cent. in the case of the Lady liners, and about 10 per cent. in the case of the Prince David.

Henry P. Rossiter, curator of prints, described the story as "a chapter of amazing co- incidences, which almost border on the incredible." The small octave volume, printed by Pigouchet for Simon Vostre in 1498 and purchased by the last May in Paris at the Rahir sale, was promptly shipped in its Mor- occo slip case with three larger vo- lumes by air 'mail to London. When the parcel was opened there the leather case was intact but the book had vanished. The insurance company and po- lice, comparing shipping weight and arrival weight at the Croydon aero-, drome, detcrmined the book had redched England. A customs official later remembered seeing and pass- ing the book. Weeks elapsed and just as police felt ready to make an arrest, a telephone call from Paris revealed that the book had ap- peared at the Gare de I'Est, arriv- ing, strangely via Basle, Switz, and. This is the solution of thefmys- tery, after examination at Croy- don: The book was somehow re- packed in an adjoining box in avhich a Frenchman living near Paris was returning some suits to a British clothing firm for alteration. Since customers often carelessly left ar- ticles in clothing, thus the British firm shipped the small book back with the altered clothing. For its via Basle. Having passed customs at Basle, the box was not subject to re-ex- amination at Paris, but a customs officer neverthelesy opened the box. Here, again, entered the fine hand of coincidence. The official was a close personal friend of the book expert who had compiled the Rahir sale catalogiie. The expert identi- fied it. Red tape was unravelled and the book returned. An Englishman who had spent over three months touring the United States and often had pon- Aered over the surprising fact that a Civil war had been possible in this country finally expressed his wonderment to a resident of Richmond in this wire: "I say, good fellow, was there nothing that could possibly have heen done that would have avert- ed your blasted Civil war." "lI can think of only one thing," replied the Virginian, "If the Plymouth Rock had landed on the Pilgrims instead of the Pilgrims on Plymouth Rock, the war might have been averted." -- Suggesting MEN'S GIFTS property," | § NECKWEAR....
