Mr. John Spry and Mr. Tom Wray, president of the BS.0.E. is visiting RE-FLOOR WITH SEAMAN-KENT HARDWOOD FLOORING A (From the Ottawa Journal) Leopold Charles Maurice Sten- nett Amery, Ottawa's distinguished guest this week, is one of those widely-read, widely-travelled in- defatigable Englishmen of insati- able curiosity who have carried Bri- tish name and influence all over the face of the earth. Journalist, author, lawyer, soldier and politi- clan, Amery has done most every- thing, been mostly everywhere, knows nearly everybody ia the world worth knowing. and appears to know something about every- thing. Mr. Amery started life with an Oxford education, no money, and a reporter's note book. Ho was a good reporter. Father Vaugnan, the noted Jesuit, once sald that if he were a street cleaner, he would sweep so conscientiously and so cleanly that everybody would say "come and see Vaughan's corner." Amery is like that. He was such a good news gamuerer that in 1899 the Times put him in charge of its war correspondence in South Afri. ca; and Amery emerged from that job (he was studying law the while) with a seven-volume history of the Boer War and a book on 'The Problems of the Army." Next came polities. Conserva- tlsm, demoralized by the debacle of 1906, wanted fighters; and Am- ery could fight. He wrote and 'ought and talked; turned out leaf- lets; produced a book on the "Fal- lacies of Free Trade"; got beaten in three by-elections within three years; failed a fourth tima; was victorious in Birmingham, finaly, Then came the war. Amery got In- to that; was in Flanders, Salonika and the Balkans; got mentioned in despatches; was summoned home to take a responsible post, It was a post in the Coalition that had thrown over Asquith for Lloyd George; and later on, when Lloyd George was thrown over by the Tories for Bonar Law, and Law car- ried the 1922 election, Amery be- came First Lord of the Admiralty To-day he is Secretary of State for the Dominions. It is a pom vastly different from the old port- follo of Secretary of State for the sues. But Amery knows his work. Colonles; different problems, fis- There isn't part of 'he Empire that he hasn't visited. He was in In- dia years ago, and has just been back there. He was in Canada more than twenty years ago: weat up to the Hudson Bay, and wrote a book about it; broke his leg in the Rockies. Amery, in fact, knows Canada better than most Canadians, He married a Canadian girl -- a sister of Sir Hamar Greenwood; has travelled over the Dominion from Halifax to Vancouver; knows all about our problems and our people. Under medium height, but with square shoulders and aggressive jaw; Amery looks more a pugilist than a politician, And he ean fight with his fists as well as with his pen and tongue, He once bloeded the nose of a Laborite in the House; has been in fist fights on the hust- ings; climbs mountains; fond nf a trip on skis. On the platform he is more efficient than pleasing, With a wide knowledge, an amazing memory, and a pugnacious style he is one of Baldwin's best skirmish. ers on the hustings. He may never he Prime Minister of England; but he will always be a considerable factor in England's public life. A girl was asked to write an es- say on "Man," and submitted the following: "Man is what a woman has to marry, He drinks, smokes, swears, and doesn't go to church, "Both sprang from the apes, but woman sprang the farthest." branch here, attended a meeting of the 8.0.E, lodge at Orono on Mon- day night, The Young People's League on Friday evening, was in charge of the missionary vice president, Miss Sadle Virtue, Aftep the opening exercises, Mrs, Alvin Peters read the Bible lesson and took charge of the devotional. A chorus was given by the missionary group and the second chapter of the study book, "Drums in the Darkness,' was taken up by Mrs. Leslie Luff- man, 8. Virtue, Vera Kerslake and Wilfred Greenaway. A contest was engaged in, in which the lea- guers had the privilege of recog- nizing some of the familiar faces of some of our missionaries and prominent men, in our church and political life, their pictures having heen pinned about the wall of the league room.

A Jolly crowd of about twenty- five surprised Mr. apd Mrs. Clar- ence Tink, at the former's home, of Mr. and Mrs. George White, on Monday night, to convey their best wishes and congratulations on their recent marriage. Soon af- ter their arrival, Mr. Harold Salter called the company to order, and after seating the bride and groom in the centre of the large circle formed, Miss Marjorie Martin read the following short lines, and Mr. Frank Hastings and Laverne Cle- mens, made them the presentation of a very pretty fern and hanging basket. "A jolly erowd has come tonight, To greet this happy pair; We wish you joy, success wealth, Without a single care. This token from your friends, we bring Our greeting to convey; May every flower that blooms therein, Bring happy thoughts your way." The bride and groom mede a fitting reply, thanking them for their kind thoughts and best and JAPANESE WARSHIP CAPTURED PIRATES Follows First Piracy on North Coast for Two Years Shanghal, Feb, 15.--The first piracy on the north coast of China in two years brought forth two Japanese war craft to recap- ture Japanese merchantmen from the pirates, The Japanese steamer Hirao Maru out bound from Shanghai encountered a steamer flying a Japanese. flag accompanied by a Chinese junk near Haichow. The junk approached the Hirao Maru and as it neared the ship it was seen the junk was filled with pi- rates, The pirates fired on the Japanese steamship, wounding the. Japanese captain and killing one sailor, The. Hirao Maru finally escaped and arrived at Tsing Tao Sunday. The Japanese destroyer Tsubaki and the Gunboat Tsuhima, started on the trail of the pirates. It was reported by wireless Monday that the Tsubaki recaptured the ship from the pirates ' near Haichow after severe fighting. The Japan- ese steamship was identified as the Haltsu Maru. It was presumed here that the vessel had been seized by the pirates. The fate of the ship's crew was not reported. Previously the Japanese steam- er Zulho Maru reported passing a steamship flying a Japanese flag and 8 junk. The steamship hoisted the Chinese version of the "Jolly Roger," which is not de- scribed in the reports. HONOR FOR CANADIAN R.
