He has been previously convicted on this offence on August 27th and August 29th of this year. A remand until Friday, December 16th, was granted at the instance of the Crown, but bail was refused, HONORED ON LEAVING PEDLAR PEOPLE, LTD.

These two boys are 13 and 7 re- spectively, and are children of Wil- liam KXosmeluk of 865 Simcoe street south, They had left home shortly after six o'clock last even- ing to attend a meeting in the Ukr- anian Church Hall, Albert street, and did not return to their home at all during the night. Their pa- rents were very anxious, and the mother did not sleep, so this morn- Ing about seven o'clock a report was sent to police headquarters of their ahsence, They returned safe- ly during the morning, however, It appears that the boys, not rea- lizing the worry it would cause, had gone to the home of a school chum on Bloor street to spend the night, and when they arose this morning returned to their home, which is situated on the property immediately north of Cedardale i"hool. They were quite oblivious of the seriousness of their prank, apparently, for when a representa- tive of the Times called at their home this morning, one was play- ing the violin and the other was up the street enjoying himself, SHERBROOKE TRIAL NEARS CONGLUSION Son of Man Charged With Murder Testifies in Court Sherbrooke, Que., Dec. 2.--Paul Metz, son of James Metz, who is appearing before the Court of King's Bench here on a charge of murder in connection with the death of Helene Dubois, which oe- curred in a shooting tragedy - on New Year's morning last, was the only witness heard at Wednesda; afternoon's session of the court, The witness, when questioned by the defenee, told of events be fore and following the shooting, The number of spectators whe have attended each session of the court since the trial started slight Iyover a week ago, is daily inereas ing, and as the end of the trie draws near even greater public interest is shown, AMES EXPECTING LEAGUE SUCCESS Noted Canadian Views Rus- sia's Participation With Satisfaction Vancouver, Dec. 3.--Russia's participation in the disarmament conference of the League of Na- tions is viewed with great satis- faction by Sir Herbert Ames, not- ed Canadian economist and former financial director of the League of Nations, who is a visitor te Vancouver, "So long as Russia abstained ft was very difficult to arrive at any- thing like an authoritative deci- sion," said Sir Herbert. "With the United States and Russia eco- operating the conference should work out a draft agreement along the lines of gradual disarmament. "The League has been workin: for the last seven years om pro! lems of security and peace. It has achiveed a great deal in the erea- tion of a technique for the settling of disputes, "The likelihood of a Europea: conflict has been very much less. ened as a consequenec of the Lea- gue's activities. "It is mow turning its attention to financial, economic, health snd transic problems.

Ruseia wanted permission to mec again on January 10, but the Com- mission put the date off until March 15. Russia, however, will not bolt the disarmament discussions despite the fact that the date of the next meeting was not fixed in accordance with the Russian desire. "Certainly we shall return to Gen- eva for the next disarmament meet- ing on March 15," Maxim Litvinvoff, Russian delegate, said in response to a question about the Soviet at- titude. "We have said we shall al- ways attend meetings which promise to bring about disarmament, We are for disarmament first, last and for- ever," In declaring an adjournment, Pres- ident Louden warned that disarma- ment must be built not on dreams, but on realities; that Britain is dis- inclined to sign any mere sarety pacts and is disarmed to the lowest possible point, "At the end of the War," he said, "Our navy was unchallenged but we scrapped two million tons, The same thing has been done in regard to naval drydocks and air forces, We had to revive our Air Force, while the army was reduced to the level of the Imperial Police Force," Lord Cushendun said he believed that Great Britain might have dis- armed too quickly after the War leaving herself with nothing to bar- gain with, "We have done voluntar- ily," he declared, "what we are ask- ing others to do, If we are stripped We can take off no more clothing." A resolution declaring that disarm- ament should not be made depend- able om security was introduced at today's session of preparatory dis- armament commission by Maxim Lit- vinoff, head of the Russian delega- tion. He asked that the next meet- ing be held about January 10 to con- tinue work of preparation for dis- armanent conference under League of Nations auspices. The next meeting of preparatory disarmament conference of League of Nations, now in session here, was fixed for March 15th, The impression prevailed at Gen- eva today that Great Britain stands firm in her decision not to undertake any more obligations in relation to European peace, This impression arose from explanation of Lord Cush- d British delegate to prepara- tory disarmament commission, to British newspapermen.
