With the opening of the extension of the City and South don Railway from Clapham Com- mon to Morden next month, London's underground railway system will push another five and a half miles into open country and bring 300,000 more inhabi- tants of the outer belt of linked sub- urbs into close contact with the city. This pew stride forward again em- phasizes the importance of our subter- ranean traffic ways in developing new residentiad areas, as well as in helping to solve the complicated puzzzle of con- gestion on surface lines and roads, says an article in the London Daily Mail. ndon can say with truth that her underground railway system is in some respects the best in the World. Foreign cities may boast of greater mileage. and of more trains in a given time, but for comfort and security, speed, the service linking the city with her more remote dependencies can eas- ily claim first place. The Popular Escalator Expansion underground would have been greater by this time but for the disinclination of travelers to go below ground for short journeys. In this re- spect London is at a disadvantage com- pared with Paris and New York, where the "tubes" are shallow and quickly reached. Escalators have helped to remove the obsession that surface journeys are referable even if they take longer. Underground railway experts who watch the "temperature charts" of crowded stations have found their bookings increased by leaps and bounds at points where the moving stairway has superseded the more cumbersome combination of lifts and winding tun- nels for pedestrians. Escalators, therefore, appear to be the antidote for travelers who are "underground shy," as well as for the more distinct type known technically as the "short dis- tance man# Five miles of the new line are be- low the surface. All six stations be- tween Clapham Common (the present terminius) and Morden will be fitted with the latest typ eof escalators. Garage "For Travelers At Morden there will be an omni- bus terminus enclosed in a forecourt of 14,700 square yards, where passen- genrs- can alight under cover. In ad dition to sheds for 250 andergrotnd cars, a garage has been constructed with accomodation for 250 private motor cars, motorcycles and bicycles. Much time will be saved by the new train service. Another underground extension which will materially increase the effic- iency of the service is provided for by a bill in parliament which will probably be passed during August. It will en- able the company to build a short link connecting the Piccadilly line with two disused lines of the Southern railway at Hammersmith, thereby giving ac- cess to Hounslow, Harrow and Ealing. Four lines will be built between Turn- ham Green and Acton as part of this improvement scheme, the total cost of which will be about £1,500,000 "If Londoners want still further im- provements in the underground Sys- tem they must use it more," an official said to the writer. "We suffer from the fickle passenger who only comes to us in wet weather, and at other times clings obstinatelv to the omnibus way of traveling. We hope that the new extensions which give rapid long dis- tance service will tend to stabilize traffic, and lead to the realization that the quickest and best way of getting about London is by the underground." Proposed extension of the outfall storm sewer to cost $1,700 was un- der consideration by council, and steps taken to see that the work is completed this fall. W.E.N. "Sinclair, K.C., On- |, tario Liberal Leader, is Con- fident All Liberals in Pro- vince Are Preparing for the Campaign -- Says Premier Trying to Divert the Public Mind From Acts of Mis- management Toronto, Oct, 20.--In line with his declaration in the Legislature last session, William E. N. Sinclair, K.C., Liberal Leader, issued a state- ment late yesterday afternoon, prp- claiming in clear-cut fashion the in* tention of the Liberal party to fight with all its force Premier Ferguson's attempt to reintroduce the legalized sale of liquor in the Province of Ontario. 3 Sinclair's statement is a more ess preliminary reply to the elec- tion manifesto issued on Monday as well as) night by Premier Ferguson. A more complete and analytical rebuttal will be forthcoming in the next few days. Disregard of People's Wishes The Liberal Leader declares that the liguor policy announced by Pre- mier Ferguson is, on the part of the latter, an arbitrary disregard of the wishes of the people of Ontario as expressed in the plebiscites of 1919 and 1924, and is the very antithesis of the policy announced by the Prime Minister not very long ago. As to the remainnder of the Fer- guson statement, it gives "neither evidence of good government in the past nor assurance of good govern- ment for the future." Liberal Leader's Statement The statement is as follows: "I have been asked my views as to the statement of policy announced by Hon.-G. Howard Ferguson in the press this morning, and find in it neither evidence of good government in the past nor assurance of good government for the future, I am confident that even now Liberals all over the Province are arming them- selves to oppose the Ferguson policy with might and main. "The liquor policy of Mr. Fergu- son is diametrically opposed to the policy of the Liberal party as de- cided time and time again, and as announced by myself at the last ses- sion of the Legislature. "Liberals must battle to supoprt the will of the people, and that will was unmistakably expressed in refer- ence to the Ontario Temperance Act (by the plebiscites of 1919 and 1924. That expression of the people's will Mr. Ferguson arbitrarily proposes to disregard. To this arbitrary action I am opposed as contrary to the fun- damental principles of Liberalism. : Change of Policy "Mr. Ferguson's policy of today is not even in accord with his own statement of policy as announced not so long ago, and is, in fact, its very antithesis, The change in atti- tude is so violent .that the Premier may well be suspected of having tried by desperate measures to divert the public mind from a long series of acts of mismanagement commit- ted against the Province in regard to its natural resources and other- wise. "I propose shortly to issue an ex- tended statement in regard to Mr. Ferguson's pronouncement." It is reported that gome impor- tant documents in the Aimee Mec- Pherson case have disappeared. Some day, perhaps, the case itself will dis- appear, to the relief of many and the regret of some.--Woodstock- In addition to wheat and coal, beet-growing is decidedly adding to the assets of this party of the coun- try.-- Lethbridge Herald.

Mr. Bruce is 42 years old, and is the youngest premier of the British Commonwealths. His brief career has included excursions in law, ath- letics, business and the profession of arms, as well as politics, Unlike some of his predecessors in the Australian premiership, Mr. Bruce is 4 native-born Australian. He was educafed in England, how. ever, at Cambridge University, and the old *Grads" still. recall how_he helped row his 'Varsity to victory against Oxford in 1904. Leaving school he took a brief fling at the English bar, but left that gvhen the war came to accept a captaincy and take part in the Gallipoli offensive where he was twice wounded. That he was a thorough soldier is attest- ed by the Military Cross and the Croix d'Guerre which he possesses. After the war he returned to busi- ness in Autralia, then entered poli- tics, 'He ignored the taunts of his enemies who charged him with be- ing a "political amateur," and even- tually achieved cabinet rank. Then came the unsought Premiership. Almost at once he made his first bow to the British public as a Prime Min. ister when he came to England in 1923 to attend the last Imperial Conference. Mr. Bruce's hobby is golf, and when he is at home he reserves one day a week for this sport, SM, NOT GLOOM (Woodstock Sentinel-Review) Lady Astor chides Dean Inge as a gloomy man who believes in a gloomy God.

ANNUAL GRANT T0 | AID COLONTZATION Overseas Committee to Assist In Settlement of Boys In Dominion | -- | Montreal, Oct. 20. Settlement of | oys from Great Britain on Canadian | farms has received a great impetus from the news received by cable that the Overseas Settlement Committee, of which the Earl of Cla®adon is head, has acceded to the réquest of the British Immigration and Colon- ization Association of Canada for an annual grant. The grant given is to he the equivalent of the grant given by the Dominion Government for the work. The cable James Smyth, received by Rev. Dr, Principal of the Uni- ted Church College, and President of the Association, is as follows: "Overseas Setltement Committee js prepared to contribute a sum equi- valent to contribution of Dominion Government subject to certain modi- fications in proposed plans. Agree- ment could be drafted on these lines if you agree provision of farm hostel outside city regarded as essential. Letter follows." Earl Favorable The granting of the request brings to a successful consummation the efforts put forward by the Association through its president, Dr. Smyth, and its honorary treasurer, Dr. J. A. Nicholson. registrar of McGill Uni- versity. These officers . interviewed Lord Clarndon when he arrived in Canada. and later Dr. Smvth and Dr. Nicholson went to England, where they interviewed the Overseas Settlement Committee, The Earl of Clarendon's reception of the request here was manifestly favorable, and he communicated with the officials in Great Britain without delay on the subject. The provision of a farm hostel, which is stipulated is one with which the Association is in absolute agree- ment, and it was discussed with Lord Clarendon here. Tt will be provided without doubt and no difficulty is anticipated. Tt is understood that the Kiwanis Club indirectly indicated some time ago that théy may do something in the matter, but it is understood that nothing really definite has been pro- mised. Extend Work The grant, it is stated, will en- able the British Immigration of Canada greatly to extend its work of bringing out boys from Great Britain between the ages of 14 and 18 years, for farm settlement. The association has been gperating un- der a charter for about four years but it is only within the last two years or so, that the work with boys has been carried on to any extent Last yédar, 533 boys were brought out and placed on farms, and this vear to date about 400 have been brought out, and the association had 200 more applications for boys than they could bring out. "Given the funds, we ean bring out between 600-and 700 boys a year," Dr. Nich- olson said. The officers of the association are: President, Rev. Dr. James Smyth: honorary treasurer, Dr. J. A. Nichol- son; manager, A. I. Morison, Most of the ugeleles, says a writer in the Cincinnati Times-Star, are made in America.

SCOTLAND YARD CALLED UPON TO SOLVE MYSTERY Young Girl Was Done to Death Thirteen Months , Ago ' ACTION NOW FORCED Idea of Suicide Shown Have Been Out of the to . ' Question £ London, Oct. 20.--Scotland Yard is to be asked to assist in the case of Iris Grace Watkins, the nineteen-vear- old girl of Blackwood (Mon.), whose body was found in a stream near her home 13 months ago. At the inquest a verdict of wilf! murder against some person or persof: unknown was returned. The détision was not a unanimou one, and when. it was announced the coroner remarked, "I am bound to take your verdict but I profoundly disagree with it.' A doctor had stated that the girl had injuries to a knee and her jaw, and he was positive that she did not die from drowning. The new efforts to solve the my: tery are to be taken at the instance « the Monmouth Standing Joint Con mittee, following the presentation ot petition signed by the inhabitants Blackwood. Last March the committee receives a similar request from a deputation re presenting 4,000 Monmouth women. but, opinion being divided, no action was taken. No Reason For Suicide The body of Miss Watkins, a shop assistant, was found five weeks after she had been missing from home. For many months an agitation has been proceeding in the district for the employment of Scotland Yard to probe the mystery further. Questions have also been asked in the Commons, where the Home Secre- tary said he was unaware that any evidence had come to light that had not been acted upon. The view of the Monmouthshire no- lice: was that they had not sufficient evidence of murder to justify the call- ing of Scotland Yard. In Blackwood, however, the convic- tion is strong that Iris was murdered and that a man committed the crime It is contended that there was no reason for the girl to commit suicide. "She was 'well known and popular in the distMct, and was quite happy with er grandmother, with whom she lived.
