July 20--The ways of the ballyhoo are devious, but their determination endureth forever, Just a few days ago Tom Heency, edging into his last month of train. ing before tackling the stalwart heavyweight champion James J Tunney under the bright lights of the Yankee Stadium July 26, found it necessary to dive into the Shrews- bury river down by' Fair Haven, N.J., and rescue Phil Mercurio, his lanky sparring partner, from a hor- rible death neath the waves. Tom's success was duly noted in the public prints, so much so in fact that the famed canoe of "Pants" Lawrence, Gene Tunncy's favorite guide, suddenly lived up to its name, St. Vitis, and precipitated the learn- ed champion and the even more learned Thornton Wilder, author of "The Bridge of San Luis Rey," into the Kunjamuck river at Speculator, N.Y. The author, taking his canoe ride with the titleholder without even wearing his bathing suit thereby qualified not only for a congressional medal, hut for the war cross of the knights of the ballyhoo. And any day now Tex Rickard, director of the ensemble, may be ex- pected to take to the water route and fall from his new yacht, the Maxine, now floating idly on the waters of the New York harbor.

The appeal is made on the ground that ne n is made to compensate persons deprived of their means of fngress and egress to and from their lands, in failing to provide another convenient road or way of access to their lands. The bylaw referred to in the Aa A above patch, was p at a meeting of the Oshawa City Coun- cil on July 2, and authority was given city officials to sell the por- tion of Oshawa street between First and Third avenue to the W. E. Phillips Company, Limited, who @esire to purchase it for an exten- sive addition to their factory which they hope to erect this year, At the council meeting the ratepayers affected presented a petition against closing the street, but stated that they would have no ob- jection to the action providing Third avenue was opened across the Oshawa Railway tracks, giving them access to the business section of the city via Albert street.

Are Made by London Government, Canada, New Zealand, and India of British Commonwealth CANADA'S REPLY IS STRIKING Transmitted Direct From Ottawa and Cordially Ac- cepts the Treaty as Re- vised--Is Ready to Sign Washington, July 19, -- Replies of the London Government and of five other members of the British Commonwealth--Canada, Austral- fa, South Africa, New Zealand and India--accepting the revised Unit- ed States draft of the war renun- ciation treaty, were made publie tonight by the State Department, simultaneously with their publica- tion in London and Ottawa The Canadian answer is the most striking of the group. It was transmitted direct from Otta- wa, hearing the signature of Right Hon. W, L. Mackenzie King, as Secretary of State for External Affairs, and states in fifty words that Canada *'cordially accepts the treaty as reyised, and is prepared to participate in its signature." The British Government's an- swer gqually accepts the revised treaty, but reiterates the British understanding of the terms of the pact in so far as they might affect obligations to the League of Na- tions, or under the Treaty of Lo- carno, and also with respect to the right of self-defense and auto- 'matic' release' from obligations to any signatory nation breaking the pact. In addition, Bir Austen Chamberlain, Foreign Secretary, reiterates his previous statement that Great Britain's acceptance of the new treaty rests 'upon the understanding that it does not prejudice her freedom of action in unspecified regions of which the welfare and integrity consti- tute a special and vital interest for our peace and safety." Dominion Replies The Australian reply was trans- mitted through Sir Austen, as were those of the Union of South Africa, New Zeaalnd and India, In the case of South Africa, how- munication quotes textually the reply received by him from Gen- eral Hertzog South African Minis- ter for External Affairs. None of the replies from mems- bers of the British Common- wealth, other than the London Government itself touches upon the point made by the Secretary for Foreign Affairs in relation to what has come to be known as th2 British Monroe Doctrine stipula- tion. The replies of New Zealand and India briefly take cognizance, however, of the other stipulations reiterated in the London note, while those for Australia and South Africa outline for them- selves the same understandings. In Sir Austen Chamberlain's note it was recalled that in a pre- vious communication he had point- ed out that respect for League and Locarno obligations "was the foundation of the policy of the (Continued on page 3) LONDON PAPERS CONDEMN ACTION OF OUSTING TILDEN (Cable Service to The Times by Canadian Press) London, July 20.--Disqualifica~- tion of William T.

There was a day when a political gathering of any sort at Oshawa or Whithy en- tailed a slow journey on compara- tively poor roads in buggy, carry-all or carriage. Either that or doubtful train connections were necessary, Then when one arrived it was diffi- cult to hear what was said anyway if there was present around the speak- ing platform a crowd of any size, In this modern generation however with good roads, cars and splendid train connections, attendance at the Conservative picnic means nothing mare serious - than a pleasant day's outing. No matter how large the crowd may be everyone may hear the speakers through the assistance of the powerful electric amplifier, similar to that which will be in- stalled on the platform at Lakeview Park, Attractive Program Under the direction of Thomas H. Stinson, E.C., M.P,, district president of the East Centre District, the com- mittee in charge of the picnic, has seen to it that an attractive program has been arranged. The McDonald- Cartier Club of this city is taking charge of the sports which will be extensive including something for young and old, with valuable prizes as the reward of successful competi- tors. Announcement of these was made in the front page of yester- day's issue. Then the interesting, regular C.O.B.L. baseball fixture, he- tween Oshawa and Peterboro' which bas been transferred from Alexandra Park to the new permanent diamond at Lakeview must not be forgotten, These are two first class teams and an exciting game is sure to be pro- vided.
