The two , men most prominently mentioned in this connection are Vis- count Hardinge, aide-de-camp to Lord Willingdon, and Lord Claren- don, It is understood like the latter, were his services available, The British have assured Premier Mackenzie King that they realze the difficulty of selecting the right man for this impertant post, recognzing that he must be a skilled diplomat and one likely to become popular among Canadians, One vurious question that is being vivaciously discussed is that of the status of the British Commissioner, It appears that Hon, William Phil- lips, the American Minister of Ottawa, as a diplomat, follows imme- diately behind the Canadian Prime Minister at such functoins as the opening of Parliament; then comes the Archbishop followed by members of the Government. thao portunity.

Then, it must be Murchison's, the one that was always moved to the little dock, And if it was Murchi- son's, then there was a small lock- er aft of the engine, and there were tools in the locker, He began to crawl toward the stern, Perhaps Murchison was here after all--lying somewhere here on the bottom of the boat. He called again, No answer. He reached the stern; and his fingers, fumbling, found the locker. His hand groped around inside. There wasn't any- thing with any cutting edge to it except a cold chisel, Well, a cold chisel and a hammer, then! With these in his possession he crawled forward again--this, time to the bow of the boat. He gritted his teeth against the pain as he raised himself to his knees--and, swaying with weakness, pitching with the pitch of the boat, he be- gan to hack at a small hawser that stretched out over the bow to where a wralthlike thing, with filmy sails that towered high to the heavens, danced and curveted out 'there in the night ahead of him, It was not easy, though the haw- ger, made fast inboard, lay stiff and taut enough across the bow. His blows were feeble; and somes times the hammer, because of the darkness and because of the poll of the launch, went wide of its mark and bruised his hand and wrist and fingers. He struck grim- ly--again -- and again, Strand aiter strand he severed--and the last one parted with a sharp, angry snap. The sweat was pouring from Peter's face. It ran into his eyes, Ho drew his arm across his eyes, wiping them with the sleeve of his jacket--and stared out ahead of him. Théo wraithlike thing was gone. There was nothing there now --nothing--just the night -- just blackness, The chisel clattered to the bot. tom of the boat from Peter's fin. gers, and Peter's knees slid away from heneath him, And the hours of darkness pass- ed in merciful unconsciousness for Peter, Then the dawn came, And then the sun blazed down upon the drifting hoat, and upon the figure, curiously crumpled, that lay inert in the bow, It grew hotter--still hotter, In the late forenoon Peter stirred, His faint cry was inarticulate -- a hoarse, croaking sound that eman- ated from parched lips, His eyes were burning with an unhealthy brilliance out of a red, fever-flush- ed face, "Water!" Peter croaked, He was consumed with thirst, His body was on fire, His blood burned him up, He stared about him in sick amaze, And then grad- ually understanding drifted back upon him. But primarily he under- gtood that there was no water, Copyright, 1928, by Public Ledger To Be Continued Tomorrow MARCH IMPORTS EXCEED EXPORTS Trade Returns Issued By the Department of National Revenue Ottawa, April 20--Trade returns for the month of March were issued to- day b ythe Department of National Revenue, showing that imports for the month totalled more than $120,- and exceeded exports by ended with March 31, however, exports were greater than imports by | 140,000,000, so that the favorable visible balance of trade still is with Canada.

WORKER'S SON A DIPLOMAT London, April 21.--Reterence was made in the House of Com- mons recently to the fact that a | son of an engine driver held a good position in the British diplomatic service. The young man is R. G. Howe, whose parents live at Dairy- house road, Derby. When 14 years of age, Howe won a scholarship, and after being at a higher school for five years obtained another scholarship which took him to St. Catharine's College, Cambridge. During the war, Mr. Howe ob- tained a commission in the Sher- wood Foresters, and later acted as censor on the Intelligence Staff at Constantinople. , Passing into the Diplomatic Service, he was posted Third Secretary at Co . and was successively at Belgraas and the Brazillian Embassy. Now he is First Secretary at the Rou- manian Legation. Nl ON A £5 THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES. TIRANT IFES An American woman invited me the other day to explain why husbands in Scotland beat their wives, whereas wives in England beat their husbands, writes James Douglas in the London Dally Ex- press, 1 begged her to tell me how she had arrived at these rather sweep- ing generalizations. She seplied that in thg London police courts husbands frequently apply to the magistrates for protection against the brutality of their wives, On the other hand, in Scotland. the wives appeal for protection against the brutality of their husbands. The practice of wife-beating in Scotland is so general, she affirm- ed, that it is seriously proposed to send wife-beaters to prison for several week-ends instead of a week or a fortnight or a month, Thus the habitual wife-beater would be set free to work for his wife and his family. He would be deprived of the leisure which he devotes to drinking and wife- beating, I assured her that wife-beating is not a Scottish pastime and that husband beating is not an English sport, Drunkards in all countries beat their wives, Viragoes in all countries beat thelr husbands, These habits are not raclal or ge- ographical, But my American friend main. tained that husbands are tyarnts in the north and ad wives are tyrants in the south, Therefore she vowed that she would never marry a Scot, I told her that the Scotsman makes a good husband, and advised her to read "The Cotter's Saturday Night." While there is nothing to be said for the wife-beater, there is a good deal to he said for the husband-beater, In nine cases out of ten the husband who is beaten by his wife deserves to be beaten, for as a rule she has tried every other argument and persua- sion, Few wives resort to vio- lence without enormous and per- sistent provocation, A husband beater is general- ly made, not born, It takes a long time to travel from cajolery to. coercion, from the kiss to the cudjel, The wife who uses the broomstick is in the last stage of despair, She has tried to reform her man by advice, by entreaty, by appeals to his reason and his sensibility, Few wome becomne without a long ordeal and martyrdom, The tyranny of the average wife is benevolently unselfish, She clings to the ideal which she envisaged when she fell in love and she patiently strives to per- suade her husband to live up to that ideal, not merely for the sake of herself and her children, but for his own sake, No good wife resigns herself to any kind of moral deterioration in her husband, She is the best critic and she can see far more than he sees, And she alone has the courage to tell her husband home truths, Home truths are the truths which are told in the home and nowhere else, Now a husband is lucky if his wife hoists danger signals in time to épable him to guard against the danger, Often he does not welcome wifely candor, He may hate to be aroused out of the slum- ber of self-deception, It he is going down-hill he may resent his wife's efforts to rescue him from his weakness of will, But a good wife is ready to face her husband's resentment of her affectionate vigilance. She is willing to risk the alienation of his love rather than let him go to the dogs without warning, Most husbands like flattery and is to seek for consolation and con- vide the degenerating character with false sympathy she knows she may expose it to the devastat- ing wiles of another woman, The instinct of a crumbling will is to seek ofr consolatio and con- donation i order to preserve some respect. 'The hardest thing in life is to face the truth about oneself and to take stock of one's own character without self-delu- sion. Our natural tendency is to shirk any glimpse of reality and to live day by day in a fool's para- dise of self-dissimulation, A good wife may seem to be a tyrant because she harps and carps day in and day out, night in and night out, on all sorts of petty weaknesses and defects. There is no ecape from her counsel and dis- cipline except by way of amend- ment and reformation.
