Our at- titude with regard to the export of power developed in Quebec to the United States is too well known to need repetition, and no one fis liable to mistake our attitude as | to dangerous international ven~ tures," Ottawa to Decide The Premier's declaration came during a discussion on the Beau- harnois Light, Heat and' Power Company Bill, It had been argued that construction of a canal from Lake St. Francis to Lake §8t, Louis would interfere with navi- gation, Premier Taschereau sald this was a matter for the Domin- ion government to decide and that it would be for the Ottawa gov- ernment to interfere if the canal in contemplation interfered with shipping, The bill would also provide for leases to the company, from which it 1s expected 500,000 horse- power in electrical energy could be developed and under the terms of the proposed leases this would mean a revenue to the province of $550,000 a year, eo GUELPH RADIAL CHARGES Guelph, Feb, 20.--According to a statement received from the Hy- dro-Electric Power Commission, te total expenses and fixed charges of the Guelph Railway for the year ending October 31, 1927, amounted to $91,806.84 and the deficit payable by the city is $23,988.11, The deficit amounted to $988.11 more than the amount estimated and advane- ed in this connection by the city in November, The world judges a city by the spirit of its people, Let's pull to- gether for a bigger, better and bu- sler community, Support the Chamber of Commerce movement, Premier' ST, MAURICE BRIDGE WORK T0 PROCEED Suspension Structure of Steel 950 Feet Long is Planned Quebec, Feb, 21.--Decision was taken Friday for the construction of a suspension bridge across the St. Maurice River between Grand Mere and St. George's, Champlain County, according to W, P, Grant, the local member of the Legisla- tive Assembly, who has had the matter in hand now, for some years.

The Colonel sued Miss Odette Keun (authoress of the book), de- scribed by counsel as of Dutch ex- traction (but who did not appear and was not represented), and Messrs Jonathan Cape, the pub- lishers, and Messhs, Butler and Tanner, the printers, of a book entitled 'Prince Tariel: a Story 'of Georgia." . It was stated that while Coloncl 'faxwell was in Constantinople in command of the Inter-Allied Po- lice in the Pera Section, a raid was made by the Military Police, and Miss Keun and other persons vere arrested and deported to Tussia. Miss Keun attributed her arrest and deportation and subsequent sufferings to Colonel Maxwell, who complained that in her book, in which she purported to describe life in the Near East, he was 1den- | tified as "Major Cassel," who was | described as a man of most im- moral character, abominable practices, The defence was that the pas- |i sage complained of did not refer to Colonel Maxwell, | Mrs. Thelma Trevett, the wife of Captain J. Trvett, stationed at Poona, said that in 1925 while in India she read 'Prince Tariel," and understood the references in the book to 'Major Cassell" to apply to Colonel Maxwell, In cross-examination by Mr. Norman Birkett, K.C, (for the publisher), Mrs, Trevett sald she identified Colonel Maxwell with "Major Cassell" because of the personal description, What about that description of "Major Cassel's eyes: 'So palely grey that they seemred to be ahso- lutely without colour, and in them far behind they held a glacial re- scluteness, an icy irreducible dar- ing.' "That," said the Judge, "is the part the plaintiff described as 'all tosh." (Laughter.) Colonel Commandant James Cooke Collis said that from 1918 to 1920 he was Military Governor of the Province of Batoum, He read "Prince: Tariel," and under- stood 'Major Cassel" to he Col- onel Marwell, "I am described in the book as || 'an empty-headed fool," he added, amid laughter. Mr, Birkett, in his addréss to the jury, said the whole circula- tion of the book was only 6502 copies, Mr, Herbert Jonathan Cape said that when he accepted the MS. of 'Prince Tariel" he did not know Miss Keun, and made no Iinquir- fes about her. Sir H, Maddock, K.C., (for Cnl- onel Maxwell): Did you know she was a bit of a firebrand--No. Mr. Cape, in further evidence, said that publishers had to pay on the majority of failures, and there were very few successiul hooks. LOLA'S HEIRS GET FAMOUS LETTERS French Public Anxiously|| Await Publication of Author's Papers Paris, Feb. 21.--The famous letters of Emile Zola to the Gon- court brothers, the bruited publi- cation of which has excited so much interest in France in the last few weeks, Friday were handed over to Zola's heirs--M. and Mme. Maurice Le Blond, his son- in-law and daughter, and Dr. Jacques Emile Zola, They have declared that they will not al- low any publication of the letters without their authorization, there- fore climaxing the barriers which bave been thrown around the missives during the more than 20 years they have rested in the Bibliotheque Nationale. This may mean that even though the ministry of public in- struction authorize their publica- tion the impatient French public still will be kept on the anxious seat for weeks or months to come. M. Leblond estimates that it will require three or four days for him to read and assort his father-in- law's letters. Publication of the letters as 2 whole in an edition of Zola's complete works now under preparation will pot be ble for several months. Wi or not Zola's family will allow at least part of them to be published before then is still uncertain.
