B. Grigg, Past President of Oshawa Humane Society, Re- veals What Is Believed to be Local Dog Racket A valuable thoroughbred beagle , the property and lifelong pe hound, E PB Cring, 164 Alice St., was recovered on Saturday morning by John W. Wilson, General Mana- er of the Ontario Society for the vention of Cruclfy to Animals, Yrom the kennels owned by the Vivisection Department of the Fac- ulty of Medicine, University of Toronto, after being "lost" since the previous Sunday, 2 returned to its owner. This occurrence is takem as con- firmation of the suspicion that has been in the minds of many Oshawa dog lovers for some time that such pets, when mysteriously "lost", were being Stolen and taken to Toronto for sale, and as a result of this development legal jon is being instituted by Mr. Wilson with a probability that an Oshawa man wil] be involved. Quiet Friendly Pet The hound in question, a two-year old raised from puppyhqod by Mrs. Grigg, who previously owned both ite father and mother, has been made a family pet all its life. It is quiet and harmless, and immediately made friends with the representa- tive of this paper who called on Mrs. Grigg at her home on Satur- day night, and it appears almost im- possible that any person could con- template making such an animal the subject of a vivisectionist's knife or pathological experiment as this dog would have been had it not been recovered in time, According to Mrs. Grigg, who i8 past president of the Oshawa Hu- mane Society and to whose personal efforts was largely due the establish- ment of the present dog pound in this city, her dog, whose name is "Friday," was missed shortly after noon on Sunday, February 28. "Friday would sometimes wander away for a walk for an hour or two, and when he did not return by nightfall I did not feel there was any real cause for worry as he had even been known to stay out all night once or twice," said Mrs. Grigg. "Just before bedtime, however, I heard him howling. Every dog- owner knows his own dog's how! and I was not mistaken. On hear- ing this dismal sound 1 went out to investigate and see if I could locate him but the sound ceased almost as soon as I opened my front door. "For reasons that I cannot state for publication I got it into my head that poor old Friday had been stolen. I was given information by a friend that he had been taken to Toronto by a certain man on Mon- day afternoon", said Mrs. Grigg, "and I immediately telephoned Mr, Wilson, the manager of the Society (Continued on page 4) Toronto, March 7.--Harry I.

TO SPEAK HERE Who is to speak on "Disarma. ment" at to-night's Inter-City meeting of the Oshawa ROtary Club. SPEGIAL SERVICES HELD AT CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. A. Williams, of Wil- liamsville, N.Y., Gave Inspiring Messages Large congregations were pres- ent at both services in the Cal- vary Baptist Church on Sunday to open the second weck of spec- fal services. Rev. A. Williams, of Williamsville, N.Y., was the speaker, and delivered two in- spiring messages. At the evening service, Mr, Willlams took as his text the words, 'Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Many men, said the speaker were today In spiritual darkness, and were try- ing to lead others like blind lead- ers of the blind. Nicodemus, said the speaker, had: gone to Jesus by night, and {it was significant that Jesus was accessible either by night or by day, and turned no. one away, no . matter when they came. The speaker Jesus told he must be born again. Apart 'from the new birth, no man could enter the Kingdom of God. To some, the new birth meant just to reform, to become religious or turn over a new leaf, Reformation, sald Mr. Willlams, was only on the outside, while the trouble was on the inside, in a deceitful and wicked 'heart. There was no possibility of being born again unless the word of God were used as an instrument. The new birth consisted of the imparting of a new mature that had never before heen apparent, Mr. Williams spoke of how how that showed Nicodemus men were being deceived today. ] Satan, he sald, was so anxious to deceive people that he used every possible means of doing so. The only real way to overcome Satan was by choosing the way of God to salvation through the new birth in Jesus Christ, At the close of the sermon, the male quartette sang a very ap- propriate selection, "Which Way Shall I Take." AL the morning mervice, Mr, Willlams addressed his remarks (Continued on page 3) More Japanese Troops Landed; China Predicts Drive on Nanking Shanghal," March 7.--The ar- tival of more Japanese reinforce- ments today, and an admission that one or two more divisions were en route from Tokio, prompted Chinese Government circles today to charge that they feared Japan might attempt to capture Nanking. The possibility of further in- land invasions, the Chinese an- nouncement said, led a plenary session of the Central Executive Committee to designate two cit- fes as temporary Capitals of China. Honanfu (Loyang) has already been nominated as the temporary Capital, and today Sianfu, the Capital of Shensi Province, was announced as a co-Capital, to be known as the Western Capital. While Chinese sources contin- ued to charge that skirmishes had been occurring beyond the 12% -mile one around Shanghai, and Japanese denied them, the Japanese admitted today the rest of the 14th Divisioag had landed on Sunday. 'More Troops on Way Admitting that one or two ad- ditional divisions were en route, Japanese authorities said these troops and their supplies had started from Japan prior to the cessation of hostilities, Tokio despatches Sunday said that the Japanese War Office had admitted that "troops previously designated as' Shanghai expedi- tionary forces were continuing their movement as scheduled, be- cause it still was impossible to say whether the Chinese would resume the conflict.") NO DEMAND FOR RANSOM WAS MADE BY KIDNAPPERS New Disclosure Adds To Mystery in Lindbergh Kidnapping (By The Canadian Press) Hopewell, N.J.,, Mar, 7.--Cap- tain J. J. Lamb, of the state po. lice, announced today that no de- mand has ever been made for the kidnapped Lindbergh baby and that neither the Lindberghs nor the police have ever had any communication from kidnappers. This statement was in direct con- tradiction of the In%rmation given out by the investigating forces at Lindbergh estate last week that a note had been pin- ried to the nursery window sill, demanding ransom and threaten- ing harm to the baby if the text of the note was made public. Cap- tain Lamb made this announce- ment to-day at a morning press conference at which he replied to a long list of prepared questions. Cannot Grant Immunity Trenton, N.J., March 7--Governor A. Harry Moore told newspaper- men today he was powerless to grant immunity to the kidnappérs the Lindbergh Baby, but added he would be willing to withdraw the police if Col. Charles A. Lindbergh should request it Contact With Underworld Hopewell, N.J., March 7.--The Lindberghs have established an underworld contact in the search for their kidnapped baby, but what led to this steps and what results, if any, it had achieved were as much a mystery as the whereabouts of the famous in- fant.

Coming as it did after a mild spell, and after the bright sun- shine of Saturday, it was quite unexpected, and the bold blasts which accompanied the snow flur. ries of last night were most un- comfortable. Driving on the slippery streets and highway was somewhat haw ardous this morning, but as the day progressed and the tempera ture rose somewhat, the ice dis- appeared, and its place was taken by a slushy mixtire on the streets and sidewalks. The fall of snow was not heavy enough to cause any particular trouble to traffic, but with more promised for to- morrow, there are possibilities of a repetition of the conditions of a year ago this week, when a large gang of men had to be put to work to clear the snow off the streets, THEATRE MAGNATES FOUND NOT GUILTY Toronto, March 7.--Three indi- viduals and 15 motion-picture dis- tributing organizations were fonnd not guilty on restraint-of- trade charges in a judgment hand- ed 'down to-day by Mr. Justice Charles Garrow.

The human race he said, cannot dodge the respon- sibility for responding to the voice of God, who is always present ready to offer a realization of truth and to set them free from their fetters that they may join in the noble company: of' the followers of Jesus.

At that time it was ine timated that the patient was not | improving, but doctors 'declined to make any specific statement re- garding the state of hig health. They said he would remain in Paris until it had been decided whether it would be advisable for him to go to the gouth of France for rest and convalescence. With Briand"s death ends one of the most active careers in mod- ern French political lyistory. The old statesman had odeupied the post of foreign minisjer in one cabinet after another for so long that he had ma office 'al- most his own, It was in that cap- acity that he participated in the Briand-Kellogg pact , outlawing war as an instrument of national policy. It was from that office that he played so important a part in the making of the Locarno pact. and that he conceived the idea of the "United States of Eu- rope," a conception which, al- though it never has taken con- crete form, is still being consider- ed by European statesmen, but it was not only as foreign minister that he made history for France, for he was Premier a dozen times, SENATOR DIES Hull, Que., March 7.--I11 for only two weeks, Senator Joseph Hormidas Legris of Louiseville, Que., died at the home of a daughter, Mrs. H.
