Newspaper Tourist Party Finds Irish Coast Not Too Sightly at First Glance By A. R. Kennedy, Editor of the Stratford Beacon- Herald, and a Member of the Canadian Press Party Cobh, (formerly Queenstown), Ireland, June 13.--The emerald isl- and fails to live up to its mame at first sight. Rocks make it look rath- er stern, and do not give the im- pression of the whole-hearted Irish welcome of which one hears so much. Nearing Cobh one sees the phan- tom ship of the course, the Celtic. It hardly seems right to refer to it as a wreck, but I was assured that Lloyd's" had recognized it as such, and had paid the full extent of the claim. There it rests, once a proud vessel of the White Star line, not an outward sign of trouble with the exception of a slight list. A great jagged rock that sticks up in front tells the whole story of what hap- pened. The irony of it is that from the Celtic one could - almost heave a rock as far as the lighthouse 'at the entrasice to the land-locked harbor. Heavy weather was on and 'a fog so dense that one could not see a foot ahead joined to put the Celtic on the rocks, and the channel there is 'so narrow for depth that the 'pilot takes the liner within twenty or. thirty yards of where the wreck lies. Old Time Fortresses Close. by on the hills are ancient forts, grim, forcboding things, no doubt formidable enough in their day, but an easy mark for an aero- plane. Farther "afigld one sees evidence of more peaceful pursuits, fine fields, cattle on the hills, orderly build- ings. But when the the bay: and the tender comes transfer passengers and mail, gets a rcal touch of Ireland. There must have been a dozen [rish-women with great bulging suit- cases, come on board. Then of course thére was the man with the bundle of black briar thorn canes. And how those Irish women 'can sell! Mostly they offered shawls' and handkerchiefs and all manner of linen goods.

I had av change to talk with him for a few minutes while the tender was load- ing. "This harbor of Qucenstown was much used during the war years?" [ suggested. "Yes, there were times when we had as many as 24 vessels in there waiting. for word that it was clear for them to pull out and be on their | gather up their children; and way. The entrance was heavily min- ed and there was only a very nar- row passage through which an en- trance could be gained. Most of the work was done at night. Many a sLip. we took out of there laden with supplies; yes, it was not so very dffiicult to keep them clear of the reefs and mine field, but," and then came an expressivé pause, more eloquent than words -- "many of those we started out were blown up before they got very. far away. That's the way of war," remarked the pilot as he went to the bridge for the trip out, "many, a good many, went out at night, and had perished before the morning was very old." Dirty Night Promised * The wind was blowing across the bay so that the tender had to seek shelter on the far side of our ves- sel. "This will give us a dirty night between here and Cherbourg," re- marked the captain. Those who were bothered with a bit of rolling and pitching say the captain's promise was kept to the letter. It was hard- ly possible to walk across the back of the deck by 10 o'clock, but all I recall is that the bath steward, who insists on keeping his passen- gers well scrubbed, tapped on the door at 8 to assure me that "your bath is quite ready, sir." Now! Gay Paree! Paris, France, June 14.--It may be that when one speaks of Paris there is the thought of gaiety, life, fashion. For that reason I am putting at the top a touch of drab that cannot be left out of the picture. The train was waiting at Cherbourg, the cars being of the compartment type, 8 seatings in each. Across a couple of tracks was an iron railing, and back of that rail- ing stood a dozen folk on: 'whom gaiety had failed to land. Neither was there much fashion, but life-- of a kind. The prevailing fashion of this little group is rags. Blindness has come upon the old lady at the end of the line, yet her hands grope their way through the railing in the hope that some tourist landing from the boat and on the way to -Paris may pause to leave a' centime or a franc. Mothers, they say, Slwars the children of neighbors to go with them, so it may be made to appear that they have very large families. Pleasant French Countryside One soon sees a more pleasant sight as we move on out of Cher- bourg. The country opens up in its most wonderful it fh, of the year. The land is rolling; it is indeed very green, and perhaps from a month to six weeks ahead of Ontario in the ripening of crops. Pioneers in Ontario spent much at Ouhaws, Off. Canada, Eviry OSHAWA, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1929 15 Cents a Week; 3 Cents a Copy. . PAGES 9-18 time in building stump fences. In France the dividing lines are hedges or rows of trees. There would be no chance of a dispute between neighbors over a line fence, because in the great open spaces there is no such thing. ; It is difficult to keep from draw- ing the attention of the ladies at home to the manner in which wo- men work in the fields here. Pre- sumably they hustle around with the house work and then go forth with the short-handled hoe and gouge great holes in the ground as do the men. W. F. Ingram, Paris correspondent of the Canadian Press, whom I met at Cherbourg, could answer every question which I tossed at him, but he stumbled over the short-handled hoe. Little runts of handles which cause the worker to bend acutely amidships. The train comes to a stop and several get out to argue about the price of baskets of cherries which would not contain over a pint. He wants seven francs a basket, equal to 28 cents. My domestic training leads me to protest that the price is excessive. Finally a ten franc note brings three baskets, and have seen the same thing in Paris for 2 francs. Franc Worth 4 Cents The franc is based on four cents at present value. Small change is computed' in centimes, 100 centimes being equal to one franc. Apart from small change it is all paper money, and comparativel yeasy to compute. But this will never do. A moment ago I was talking of French pastoral scenery, and a discussion of French currency really does not belong in her at all. We shall come to that in due season when it is time to talk about. the tipping system. Looking from the train window one sees images of Christ along the road. They appear to be wayside shrines, but Mr. Ingram tells me that is not so, When a person has been killed by an accident the image is placed there in memory, quite -ex- pressive of the simplicity and devo- tion of the French country folk. So .many times did it seem that the stone farm buildings were all grouped--built of stone with red tile roof or thatched--that I inquired again of Mr, Ingram. "That goes back to the days of the barons, when one would take his men some night to raid the holdings of an- other. It became necessary to have the barn and house close together so that the stock in the barn could be the more readily defended." There is none of that business going on now, but the custom re- mains, and I was assured that many of the quaint buildings we were passing had been built 500 years ago when men prowled around at night; seeing what could be easily loosen- ed up and moved away. Plenty. of Cows, But Not Milk Plenty of cows here ,too, many of them of the type where the horns stick out in front in the good old- fashioned way. Apparently the farm- ers are not so keen on milk pro- duction as they are in Ontario, for I understand they are milked only once a day, and the daily produc- tion is not nearly as great as in Ontario. It is certainly not my part to say why this plan is followed, but I am merely repeating whatl made that the farmers are lazy. At the moment when this story is being pieced together we are pass- ing through Lisieux, where, if my memory serves me aright, Joan of Arc was arrested, being latter burn- ed in Rouen in 1429, an event which is being commemorated in France this year. It took some time to make out why the houses looked different here. They are built mostly of stone; roofs are red; they have a style and ap- pearance which is impressively quaint, and yet which will trot along with the bungalow in the matter of modern construction.

Mrs. Sorbonne, No. 1, charges her husband with bigamy because he contracted the second marriage. Sorbonne and Clemence Dachet, both Roman Catholics, were mar- ried by a Protestant minister in France, later coming to this coun- try. Domestic trouble arose be- tween the pair, and Sorbonne ap- plied to the ecclesiastical authori- ties of his faith for an annulment of his marriage, out of which there had issued two children. A judg- ment annulling the granted by the Church and later confirmed by a judgment rendered by default in the Superior Court. Sorbonne's wife was travelling in Europe when the civil court pro- ceedings were taken here, but up- on her return, steps were taken to have the judgment given in her absence, revoked.

They are laying themselves open' to the possibility of irreparable damage to whatever reputation they may have for dealing the cards from the top of the deck. Journalism in Canada is, on the whole, fearless and uncontrolled. There are moral issues involved in any action that besmirches this record. In current discussions in the United States regarding newspapers controlled by what is rather impro- perly termed the "power trust" these moral issues seem to have been ranked uppermost by editors of other papers. Newspapers decidedly have a right to demand that their own positions be not injuriously affected by bump- tious attempts at control of other papers, Let the public once begin to believe that newspapers generally not looks up, and. being unable to] hear, drove on to the crossing.

But from the standpoint. of finance and business itself, a larger issue is involved and this is .the one The Financial Post wishes t ostress. The confidence of the public in business and finance must not be undermined by improper methods of attempting to control public opinion. Any busi- ness corporation or group that at- tempts. to do this is. laying up trouble for itself and also bringing down public ill-will 'upon all other can be bought and managed by small corporations and financial groups. PRODUCED BY McLAUGHLIN-BUICK in which the Privy Council held that the marriage of two Catholics by a. Protestant clergyman, is vu- lid, set aside the judgment ana consequently Clemence Dachet was declared the real wife of Sorbonne. Sorbonne had married mean- while, in the period between the rendition of the Superior . Court judgment and the return of nis wife from Europe. The sculptor maintains that Mrs. Sorbonne, No. 2, is his real wife, and if tne charge of bigamy is upheld against him, will find himself liable for the support of both. The case is proceeding before Judge Cusson and Oscar Gagnon 18 acting as counsel for the accused. THREE-YEAR-OLD HURT there are no verandahs, nor any- thing to take the place of one.
