T. Champion, Canadian Press Staff London, Eng., Oct. 21.--In mat- ters autobiographical Rt, Hon. Winston Churchill works back- wards, He dealt with most of his own career of the past 20 years in his four volumes "The World Cris- is." In "My ly Life: a Roving Commission," blished yesterday by Thornton Butterworth. London, and Thos. Nelson, Toronto, Mr. Churchill gives an account of what befell him from his birth in Ire- land in 1874 until September, 1908. when, as he puts it, "he married and lived happily ever after." It is a lively story in the full sense and the writing has all the graphic quality which made 'the world crisis" so notable a contribution to literature upon the war times ruggle With Latin Mr. Churchill's infantile struggle with a preceptor over the Latin language was indicative of the mind with which he was to pursue more weighty subjects later, The mas- ter was attempting to explain the vocdtive case. 'Mensa o table, is the vocative case' said the master. "But why o table," I persisted in genuine curiosity, "0 'o table----you would use that in addressing a table, in in- voking a table,' then, seeing he was not carrying me with him, 'you would use it in speaking to a table." "But 1 never do, I blurted out in honest amazément. " 'If you are impertinent, you will be punished and punished let me tell you, very severely' was the conclusive rejoinder. "Such was my first introduction to the classics from which, I have been told, many of our cleverest men have derived so much solace and profit." Churchill went later to Harrow where the headmaster, M. Willdon now dean of Durham, took a broad- minded view of his Latin prose. "He showed discernment in judging my general ability," says Mr. Churchill. Much later in life, the author con- tinues, he came to the conclusion that their language gave the Rom- ans and the Greeks too a fine and easy way of establishing their post- humous fame. It was not untl) his third attempt that Churchill managed to pass into Sandhurst. He did this by learning mathematics in six months. which he considers to be his triumph, moral and intellee- tudl. However, he passed out of that notable military academy eigth in honors. Joined 4th Hussars Churchill joined the 4th Hus- sars. His first knockabout experi- ence was when he somehow got leave with another subaltern to see something of the Cuban rebellion. Soon after this his regiment sailed for India. It was here in the win- ter of 1896, when he had almost completed his 22nd year, that the desire for learning came upon him, "I began to feel myself wanting in .. |even the vaguest knowledge about many large spheres of thought. I had picked up a wide vocabulary and had a Mking for words and for the feeling of words fitting ana falling into their places like pen- nies into a slot. 1 caught myself using a good many words 'the meaning of which I could not define precisely." Straightway he began to read history and philosophy for four or five years, His various readings led him to ask himself questions about religion. "I passed through a violent and aggressive anti-reli- gious phase which, had it lasted. might easily have made me a nui- sance. My poise wag restored dur- ing the next few years by frequent contact with danger. I found that whatever I might think and argue, 1 did not hesitate to ask for special protection when about to come un- der the fire of the enemy: nor to home safely for tea. I even asked for lesser things than not to be killed too soon, and nearly always in these years, and indeed through- out my life, I got what I wanted." Following experiences with the Malakand fleld force and the Ti- rah expedition Churchill was anxi- ous to be included in Kitchener's Soudan expedition. Kitchener was by no means eager to have him, Much tion "lI mow perceived," Churchill writes, "that there were many {ll- informed and {ll-disposed people who did not take a favorable view of my activities. On the contrary they began to develop an adverse and even hostle atttude. They began to say things like this, "Who the devil is this fellow? How has he managed to get to these cam- paigns? Why should he write for the papers and serve as an officer at the same time? Why ghould a sub- altern praise or criticize his senior officers? Why should generals show him favor; How does -he get so much leave from his regiment? Look at all the hardworking men who have never stirred an inch from daily round and common task, We have had quite enough of this, too much indeed. He is very young and later on he may be all right: but now a long period of liscipline and routine is what second lieuten- ant Churchill requires,"" Others pro- ed to be abusive, and the ex- pressions 'medal hunter' and 'self- . |advertiser' were used from time to time in some high and low military circles in a manner which would, 1 A han M " tinted By parliament that she was sot able LA pay me Gren a live wa, 0.

BY-ELECTION I$ ~~ INFINE TANGLE British Political Observers Baffled Over De- velopments London, Eng. Oct. 21.--With hints of a new alliance between Lord Rothermere and Lord Beaver- brook, the by-election campaign in South Paddington presented a pro- blem baffling to the most astute political observer. Lord Rother- mere has apparently abandoned his own United Empire party ecandi- date, Mrs. Stewart Richardson, to her own devices, while he comes out whole-heartedly in support of Lord Beaverbrook's empire free trade nominee, Vice-Admiral Tay- lor. It had generally been understood that a difference of opinion develop- ed between the two newspaper bar- ons at the end of their whirlwind empire free trade "campaign some months ago, Their jointly-formed United party was forsaken by Lord Beaverbrook and left to the care of Lord Rothermere. who declined to step out of his independent role to accord any support to the Conser- vatives, as Lord Beaverbrook once did. Now Lord Rothermere advises constituents of South Paddington to vote for Vice-Admiral Taylor in or- der "not to split the empire vote," but Mrs. Richardson says she is proceeding with her campaign Sir Herbert Lidiard, who is back in the good graces of the Conser- vative party since he formally re- nounced any leanings towards Lord Beaverbrook, is a third candidate, and Miss Evans, Laborite. a fourth Miss Evans declared that the Labor party rejected any form of tariff protection. She asserted Rt. Hon, Stanley Baldwin sought to use the imperial conference as a pawn for party gain, but only endangered the chances of a mutoally beneficl- ent empire trade agreement, Meanwhile the Daily Mail asserts there is a great demand for a na- tional Conservitive conference "to deal with the split over the incom- plete fiscal policy pot forward by the leader." CANADIAN CHOIR SINGS IN ENGLAND Brantford - Musicians Will Join in Blackpool Musical Festival London, Oct, 21.--The Canadian choir of Brantford, Ont. a well- known aggregation of 33 women and 26 men under direction of Frederic Lord, arrived at Glasgow on the liner Minnedosa, Hugh Robertson, conductor of the famous Orpheus Choir of Glasgow, with members of the choir, greeted the Canadians, who shortly afterwards left for Edinburgh, where they sang at Usher Hall.

OF CHICAGO WORKERS ARE UNEMPLOYED Over 250,000 People Suffer . . Privation in Met- ropolis Chicago, Oct, 21.-Chicagoans, from the mayor down to the low- liest householder, have started a valiant effort to combat the city's critical unemployment situation by providing food for the hungry, beds for the homeless and jobs for the needy. . Arrival of another harsh, mid- west Winter found the breadwin- ners of 260,000 persons out of work. The Chicago Tribune, in an editorial, was authority for the statement, estimating that 10 per- cent. of the workers in Chicago were © now unemployed. These workers represented 75,000 fami- Hes, it said. Several thousand had no place to sleep. except in the parks, under viaducts, in alleys. Thousands more had no way of obtainihig food, other than begging. even poking about in garbage pails. So cruel was the situation that the whole city co-operated in an ef- fort, first, to provide immediate if temporary relief. and second to start the laggard wheels of com- merce revolving more swiftly in an effort to remove the fundamental cause of the widespread suffering, Forty-five outstanding citizens plapned to meet tomorrow to form a state-wide orranization to relieve distress. The Association of Com- merce formed a committee to co- oridnate all the numérous unem- nloyment activities public-spirited citizens already have started. Mayor William H. Thompson called a special meeting of the city council to draft a relief program, Toronto man who had all his top teeth taken out lost his case when he sued for damages, He also lost his teeth.--Stratford Beacon-Herald.

NO PROTECTION ISHEYNOTE OF SNOWDEN SPEECH World Crisis Temporary But Is Driving Many People to Panic Manchester, Eng, Oct, 21.--A vigorous attack upon tariff protec- tion was made here last night by Right Hon. Phillip Snowden, Chan: cellor of the Exchequer, in what was generally regarded as an im- portant political speech. "No protection" was the keynote. "Protection would lead us into interminable industrial strife and chaos, An unfounded rumor has appeared in the press that the Gov- ernment is considering an all-round 10 per cent. import duty for rev- enue purposes, "No Government in which I am in charge of the national finances will ever give serious consideration to a proposal like that. Not Only Sufferers "If we alone were suffering, and all protectionist countries were prosperous. there would be a prima facie ease for inquiring whether it was our fiscal system which was re- sponsible for our depression, "The world crisis is temporary. It is driving many people to a state of panic. Before we have a change it must be proved beyond all dis- pute that the policy we have pur- sued for the last century is not the best policy for this country, "Introduction of a tariff system into this country would strike at the purity of the political life of this nation, Parliament would become a sink of corruption. Members of Parliament would go there, not to represent national interests, but pledged to support the selfish inter- ests of particular industries." "On a Slippery Slope." "Once begin a policy of protec- tion, and you are on a slippery slope that leads to a bottomless pit." Mr Snowden declared that Im- verial preference, vigorously de- bated in Britain since the opening of the Imperial Conference, could only be carried out with a tax on food He sald the Dominion Premiers had made their policy clear. They asked Britain to change her fiscal policy so that preferental rates could be given to produce they sent to Britain, Commenting upon war debts and tariff protection, the Chancellor made a keen thrust at France. "France is always mentioned as an example of protection, but our noeition mirht have been better to- day if we had repudiated four- fifths of our debts." : "I tell you" said tht cynic, "men are getting so deceitful nowadays that you can't trust your best friends. i "And what's worse," interrupted the other gloomily, "you can't get your best friends to trust you" Men's Flannelette PYJAMAS Heavy quality, nicely made, with silk frogs.
