Went Nonchalance" of : Hungary in Selling Ma- |i Paris, Feb. 2..--There is a grow- ing conviction in Paris that the im: pertinent nonchaline with which the Hungarian authorities have treat- ed the intervention of the Council of the League of Nations in the St. Gotthard machine gun smuggling af fair is bound to cause the Council to force an inquiry into the entire ques. tion of Hungary's present day arm- aments at its next meeting. It ia known that Foreign Minister Briand is far from pleased with the action of the Hungarian Government in rushing the sale of the machine gun evidence in the case, and the warn- ing of Chen Loh, the president of the League Council, in the form of a polite ultimatum to Hungary, was ac- tyally inspired by the French For- eign Minister, High French officials admit that the St, Gotthard incident, although originally not appearing so monen- tous, now involves the flat question of the Council's authority to investi- gate complaints made by member na- tions, M, Briand is one of the warm- eat devotees of the League and cer- tainly does not intend to allow the Geneva organisation's face to be slapped so openly. In addition to that, the Hungarian Arms smuggling case has a direct bearing upon the French European -- A Blessing to People of Advanced Years Gin Pills relieve sufferers from kidney and bladder trouble 2 wonder if you really know what Gin Pills are to people of years, am 73 years of age, and suffered considerable time with kidney and er trouble.

M. Briand has no idea of leaving the small but much friendly states in Central their re quest for an inquiry, which was made officially, and it always was a League requirement. These may well culminate in a de- cision of the Council to authorize a wholesale investigation to deter mine the quantity of arms that has been smuggled into Hungary, and how flagrantly the Treaty of Trianon has been violated, if at all. The fact that the Budapest officials have shown such an aversion to co-operate with the Council has only bolstered the impression here that there must be some reason for this, From the French viewpoint it is extremely dangerous to allow any secret armas ments in defiance of the peace treaty to go unchallenged, Fears Of France Paris fears that if the St. Gotthard incident were overlooked a similar case might well eventuate in Ger many, and menacing military equips ment built up before it could be pre- vented. The French, therefore, are ready to urge the going to the bottom of the arms smuggling in Hungary and doing it in a thorough fashion. Italy has been silent regarding the whole affair, and certainly will not assist in hurrying an inquiry. Never- theless, it is expected that the Coun- cil will approve the step: It may be said with assurance that M.

Boucher's son, Arthur, 30 years of age, who has been bilnd since birth, was in an upper part of the .| house when the fire broke out and managed to save himself by jump- inz through a window. He was bad- ly cut about the hands and was also injured when he struck the ground. The blind son has received the last rites of the church, and his condition is regarded as criti- cal. The case was reported to act- ing Coroner Dr. Valee today. and he is holding an inquest. According to information secur- ed by Chief Marsom, of the Levis poli Napol Boucher and his son were alone in the house, the victim's wife and two daughters having gone to Quebec to attend a family reunion. This morning the son, sleeping in an upper apartment, was awak- ened by his father who shouted to him: "The house is on fire, save yourself." At that time the bulld- ing was filled with thick smoke. Young Boucher groped his way to a window and, with some trouble, managed to break the glass, cut- ting his hands badly in so doing. Then clad only in night attire he hurled himself out. Through the snow broke the unfortunate man's tan somewhat, he was badly bruis. © Apparently the father was over- come by smoke while attempting ta save his blind son, as he never came out of the building. The son was rushed to the Hotel Dien Hospital at Levis where he was found to be suffering from se+ vere burns and other injuries as well as exposure. There is hope of saving his life, but his condi- tion is regarded -as serious. The first mews Mrs. Boucher bad of the death of her husband | was when accompanied.by her daughters, she stepped off the ferry from Quebec this morning. : MARCONI PREDICTS RADIO SENSATIONS Fascimile Transmission Will Supercede Code in Near Future London Feb. 28.-- Wireless tele- phony between England and Can- ada within a month or two and experimental facsimile tramsmis- sion by Beam radio between the two countries was predicted by Senatore William Marconi, Predicting sensational develop ments in wireless within the next two or three years, Marconi de- clared that radio has greater pos- sibilities of development than ever before and that it will change the whole inter-relation of the world. Chief among the developments he placed facsimile transmission which he believed might ultimate- ly supersede code transmission. "By this means," he said, "we can transmit a whole page of a newspaper or any handwriting, ---------- tem of communication called the cryptograph, whereby a transmit- ted message is automatically cod- ed and decoded. _-- We are going to try it very short- ly to Canada.
