With only the magistrate, the crown attorney, three officers, press representatives and the defendant present the case proceeded and the charge was read to the boy, who is just old enough hy a few months to be charged in police court.

Pictures were shown, giving an idea of the growth of the Toc H movement, pictures of the original Toe H house, Talbot House at Pop- eringhe Flanders, being shown. and the various homes organized since its inception. Toe H was essentially a welfare association, and not an ex-service men's club, explained the padre, and he gave a resume of the history of this now famous organization. The association was an outgrowth of the Great War, but is not con- fined to ex-service men. It includes men of all ages and climes. The lineage of the Toc H groups is especially interesting. At Talbot House, in Poperinghe, 8 miles be- yond the scene of the "Wipers Salient', soldiers came to this "litle heaven in the corner of the hell of the soldiers existence." The name of the house was changed by the signallers into the cryptic "Toc H." The work of Toc H has not been familiar to the laymen, stated, and that is the main reason that he was touring Canada at that time. He gave a graphic account of his empire tour, his remarks on the flourishing condition of the groups in South Africa being especially interesting. The padre returned to England, and came to Canada from London, He has heen connected with Toc H for the past five years, and for a time was on He is now one of the staff padres. bee, Toronto apd Oshawa.

HOLD HOPE FOR OUTLAWING WAR British Press Looks Upon United States Note as :.. duns Optimistic London, March 2.--Although throughout the correspondence he- tween Secretary Kellogg and For- elgn Minister Briand of France on the desirability of a 'multilateral agreement for the '"'outlawry of war," British opinion - has been skeptical of the virtue of Mr. Kel. logg's proposal. The fact that he is persisting In arguing for it, des- pite the French rebuff of January, is the cause of some satisfaction bere. It Is taken as evidence of a growing trepd in the United States to return to co-operation fin the cause of maintaining peace, in con- junction wtih the rest of the world. Two leading editorials, ope in the Liberal Manchester Guardian yesterday, and the other in the Conservative London Times tomor- row, .show- how closely British thoughts unanimously desiring some closer and more definite un- derstanding with America upon international obligations, as well as rights, is searching through the words of leading Americans to find some hope. Opinion for Peace "The essential fact which emerges from Mr. Kellogg's insist- ence," says The London Times, "is that a considerable portion of American opinion desires perman- ent peace and dreads the risk of ! war. So do the nations of Europe, which have been seeking the sviu- tions of the problem of peace and war through the League. "Mr. Kellogg definitely American co-operation with the | League to abolish war. He pro- poses for the present a kind of simple, radical solution, which has | been found wanting in the difficult | League experience of international | co-operation, Penalties Necessary "We awuld all like to abolish war by caneral declaration, but we all know that rebels, aggresso:s traitors may break out at any mo- ment and cloud the bright pros- pects of universal peace. There must be sanctions and penalties somewhere. Mr. Kellogg's note shows that the United States, after a long, deliberate abstension, is growing sensitive again to the confusing course of the world's affairs. Her view, in so far as it is expressed in these notes, seems to us exces- sively optimistic. But she has definitely, with whatever reserves, joined in our long debate." offers EGGS 45 CENTS A DOZEN Eggs sold for 45 cents a dozen on the market this morning, and butter brought 42 . cents per pound.

Ten Miles From Village Peter went fishing out on ice near Surveyor's Reef, miles east of the, Village of Ce- darville. He had a hole in the ice, and a bit of shelter to shield him from the zero wind. Peter was out on the ice two or three miles. Jack Vizeneau was fishing closer in shore. Cracked by the wind and the current, the ice broke off from shore, and in a few minutes Peter was being carried out into the lake. Jack saw him going out. He ran five miles to Prentis Bay for a boat, but there was none there. Then he went back to Lakeside Hotel about seven miles, and still was unable to secure a hoat, By that time Paquin was four miles out in the lake. Jack managed to reach a and called Ed. Stack's Boh.

And that wasn't all. One player wore boxing gloves for shin pads, another saw fit .to use a pillow for a chest protector, one didu't sce why skates should be used at all and Jeft these articles in the dressing room. But the game itself was even more funny.
