"No decision we take would be of interest to the general public, or to anyone except Steamship men" added the Chairman, Mether any announcement will be made as to decisions reached at the gonference is not known, but it is probable that no statements will be made as to just what the Conference has decided on, al- though it is known that no matter what agreements may be ratified by the delezates, none of them will affect shipping plans, as regards passenger traitic, for the season of 1928, This was informally stated on Thursday, and was reaffirmed by Chairman Lederer Friday, SHERBROOKE MAN 70 STAND TRIAL Silas Bidwme Charged With Causing Death of - Uncle Sherbrooke, Que., March 6, -- Silas Browne, 35-year-old Bishop's Crossing man, was ordered to stand trial before the next session of the Court of King's Bench by Magis- trate J.

"In the last 12 months," Mr. Massey said, '"'we have made the most striking advance on the wid- est front with what will be the most permanent results in any period of the same length in our history.

Sunday's elections will fill the 444 seats in the Polish seym, or parliament, while a week later the electorate will choose 111 sena- tors, Approximately 25 parties will en- rare 'in the electorate struggle, each with its pledges and slogans The parties agrea in at least one respect--the desire to secure as many seats in parliament as pos- sible, Left wing parties seek to regain for the parliament some of the pow- ers of which it has heen shorn by Pilsudski, and right wing par- ties demand privileges and a square deal.

Neighbors Paris, March 6.--Political ob- servers on the horizon are turning their eyes to Geneva where states- men *'of the Little Entente" met Sunday for an exchange of views as a preliminary to the meeting of the league council. As the Balkans are regarded as a particularly inflammable portion of Europe, anything which might happen there would be ragarded as a real war menace. For this reason, French officialdom, in sup. port of Briand's peace efforts, have been carefully watching and bop- ing for the growth of better feel- ings between the Little Entente na- tions and their neighbors, Washington House Dresses A nice range of these popular and well made House THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 1928 mem a By HAROLD BELL WRIGHT, CHAPTER XI--Continued And Captain Charlie's pipe was forgotten as he watched his friend and listened. This Jobn Ward was & John Ward that few people in Millsourgh knew. But Captain Charlie knew him. Captain Char- lie had seen him tested in all the ways that war tests men. In cold and hunger and the unspeakable discomforts of mud and filth and vermin --- in the waiting darkness when an impatient whisper or a careless move to ease overstrained | merves meant a deluge of fire and death -- in the wild frenzy of ac- tual conflict -- in 'he madness of victory -- in the delirium of de- feat--in the dreary marking time «in the tense readiness for the charge -- in those many moments when death was near enough to strip the outward husks from these two men and leave their naked souls fact to face--Captain Charlie had learned to know John Ward. "Do you remember what the In- terpreter sald to us the first time we went to see him after we got home?" demanded John. Charlie nodded. "He sald for us not to make the mistake of thinking that the war was over just because the Armistice was signed and we were at home in Millsburgh again, I'm afraid a good many people, though, are making just that mistake." "I didn't understand what our old friend meant, then, Charlie," continued John, "but I know now. He meant that the same old fight between the spirit of imperialism that seeks the selfish .ominion of an individual or class and the spirit of democracy that upholds the oneness of all for all, is still on, right here at home. The Pres- ident said that the war was to make the world safe for democracy and there are some wild enthusi- asts who say that we Americaus won it." "That 'we won the war' stuff is all bunk," interrupted Charlie, in a tone of disgust, ' 'Bunk' is right," agreed John. "The old A.E.F, did have a haud, though, in putting a crimp in the Kaiser's little plan for acquiring title to the whole human race for himself and family. But if tne American people don't wake up to the fact that the same identical principles of human right and hu- man liberty that sent us to France are involved in our industrial con- troversies here at home, we migit as well have saved ourselves the trouble of going over there at all." "That is all true enough," agreed Captain Charlie, "but what is going to wake us up? What is going to send us a nation against the Kaiser Bills of capital and the Kaiser Bills of labor, or, if you like it better, the imperialistic em- ployers and the equally imperial- istic employees?" John Ward fairly shouted his country as we saw our places in the nation's army, As a people we must grasp the mighty fact that humanity is the issue of our mills and shops and factories and mines, (exactly as it was the issue of our campaigns in France. America, Charlie, has not only to face in her 'industries the same spirit of im- ,Perialism that we fought in France (but she has to contend with the same breed of disloyal grafters, iprofiteers and slackers that would {have betrayed us during the war, {And these traitors to our indus. | tries must be branded wherever {they are found -- among the bus- ,iness forces or in the ranks of la- i bor, in our schools and churches or fon our farms. | "The individual's attitude to- ward the industries of this nation must be a test of his loyal citizen- 'ship just as a man's attitude to- 'ward our army was a test. And Americans dare not continue to ig- nore the danger that lies in the {work of these emissarles who are 'seek.ng to weaken the loyalty of our workmen and who by breed- ing class uatred and strife in our industries are trying to bring a- bout the downfall of our governs ment and replace the stars and stripes with the flag that is as for4 eign to our American independencd as the flag of the German Kaiser himself." Captain Charlie sald, slowly, "That is all true, John, but at the same time you and I know that there is no finer body of loyal cit- fzens anywhere in the world than the great army of our American workmen. And we know, too, that the great army of our American business men are just as fine and true and loyal." "wxactly,"" cried John, "but !f these loyal American citizens who work with thelr hands in the M.ll and these loyal citizens who woik in the office of the Mill don't ho.d together, in the same spirit of coms radeship that united them in the war, to aefend our industries against both the imperialism of labor, we may as well run up a new flag at Washington and ve done with it." "You are right, of course, John," sald Capiain Charlie, "but how?" ' "You and I may not know how," retorted the other "any more than we knew how the war was going to be won when we enlisted. Bug we do know our little parts right here in Millshurgh "clear enough. As I see it, It Is up to us to carry the torch of Flanders fields into the field of our industries right here in our on home town." He paced to and fro without speaking for a little while, the oth- ler watching him, waited. | "Of course," said John at last, "a lot of people will call us fana- tics and cranks and idealists for 'saying that tne Big Idea of war must dominate us in our industrial life. And, of course, it is going sight harder In answer, "The Big Idea, my boy--|ty he a darned the same Big Idea that sent us to gome ways to stand for the princi- war against imperialism over ples of our comradeship here at there will wake us up to drive the | ome than it was over there, 'Don't spirit of imperialism out of ourigg out into No Man's Land to-nignt American industries at home."
