These are arranged as a universal tribute to Field Marshal Haig, and the re- turned men of the war are taking an especial interest in arranging for the meetings. Sir Douglas Haig was the prime mover in the co-ordination of the various returned soldiers' or- ganizations into the British Empire Service League, of which the Cana- dian Legion is the national branch, and thus arrangements for the ser- vices in the towns and cities of Can ada are in charge of the local posts of the Legion, Members of Post 43, the Oshawa branch, will meet in the Armories at 3.30 o'clock, and march to St. An- drew's Church under Sgt.-Major Cooper as Marshall, The city council has officially signified its intention of being present in a body, and other public organizations have also asked to attend enmasse. Seats are being reserved for those especially invited The Whitby Post of the Legion will be present, then in the evening the local branch will return the compli ment and attend the similar service in Whitby, The full quota of speak- ers has not yet been definitely se- cured, but it is expected that Capt. Jarrett of Port Perry and local min- isters will accept this duty. Oshawa City Council will attend in a body, "CALVARY" IS NAME NEW BAPTIST CHURCH At a well attended business meet- | ing of membegs-of the newly formed Qshawa Baptist Church it was un- animously decided to adopt the name "Calvary" for the new cause.

BRITAIN NAILS BUMORS CONCERNING BATTLESHIP London, Feb. 8.--Foreign news- papers having stated that the new British battleship Nelson--the most powerful floating fortress in the world--was a failure and ~ould not develop more than 43, 000 horse-power or attain her de- 'zned speed, and that her manoe- uvring trisls were unsatisfactory, the British Admiralty today dis- closed details in rebuttal. They declared that the Nelson developed 46,000 shaft power on her eight- hour full power trial. Her mean speed on that trial was 23.5 knots, and her mapoeuvring trials were entirely satisfactory. \ Baportel by Stoble, Forlong & Co. win Loco. works in 1927 earned $6.21 » fjommon share, against $22.41 a share in 1926.

HAIG MEMORIAL QUESTION DIVIDES BRITISH HOUSE London, Feb. 8.--A motion by Premier Stanley Baldwin in the House of Commons tonight, sug- gesting erection of a monument to Field Marshal Earl Haig, met the unusual fate of being pressed to a vote, because Ramsay Mac- Donald, the Labor Party Leader, urged that a better memorial would be the establishment of a national fund for the relief of for- mer service men. He insisted on dividing the House on his amend- meny giving expression to this view, but was defeated. The Prime Minister's eulogy of Great Britain's army leader was couched in moving terms, BACK FROM TRIP 10 OLD COUNTRY (Continued from page 1) ing exceedingly rough on both the trips, So much so was this fact that the ship was four days late in arriving at Halifax, One of the main incidents in his holiday was the new Liver- pool Cathedral and the organ, the largest of fits type in the world, Mr. Smith had the hon- or of playing on the instrument, 219 speaking stops. From here he travelled to Chester, the city after which he was named, "A curious thing," said Mr, Smith, "was that I had néver heen to the Old Country before but had only read about the places IT was to visit. I found them much the same as I had read. I attended Sunday 'service in Chester Cathe- dral ,the ancient chapel which was huilt by the Normans many years ago.

Another honor which was con- ferred upon Mr, Smith was the fact that he was granted an ap- | pointment with Sir George Hum- | phries, chief engineer of London | County Council, Francé was particularly inter- esting, but Mr. Smith regretted | that he could only spend three days of his trip in that country. During his brief stay, however, he made the best of his time and mode many trips in regular sight- seeeing coaches. He pointed out that many of the plays produced at the French theatres are of English lanzuage and a large can. During this season of the year, it was stated, the high-class Operas are not usually staged. It was in Paris that the recep- tion to the King of Afganistan took place and Mr. Smith was for- tunate to be there at the time and to see the ceremonies. He ex- plained that many thousands of soliders were present to do hom- age to the visiting king. So filled was his program, Mr. Smith 'found that he had practi- cally over-run his allotted time, and he hastened for home without making all the trips he had plan- ned. number of the players are Ameri- | MASKED HERCULES DOES ESCAPE ACT Alex, Hamilton Entertains at the Canadian Legion Meeting It took fifteen minutes for two stalwart Tars to tic him up, but it only took 1 minute, 45 seconds, for him to get away, At the meeting of the local post of the Canadian Legion last evening in the market building, Comrade Alex, Hamilton, "The Masked Hcercules" of General Motors picnic fame, rave a demonstration of the Hindou Rope escape.

Three were charges of passing stop signs, one of having defective brakes, and one of speed- ing. Two convictions were registered in the stop sign cases, both of the offenders, A. G. Broomfield and Robert Henderson, being fined $1 with $5.50 costs, after pleading guilty. The other case was Dr. E. J. Shirley, and in his case, since there was a very reasonable doubt, Magistrate Hind dismissed the ac- tion. He once more explained the law in this regard, saying that there could be no mistake if the motorist came to a full stop dis rectly at the stop sign. "For speeding, Charles Blair paid a fine of $5 and costs. Chief Friend, in commenting on the ease before the court, stated that one of Blair's employees had been the offender, and recommended the minimum fine, which was imposed, The other charge, against Clarence Crouse for having defective brakes, resulted in a $10 fine, with costs, being imposed. It's easy enough to have more reliable brakes--if the drivers | didn't go through the windshields. j=-Brandon Sum.
