Politics Unmentioned The speaker made no mention of politics but the keynote of his address was a challenge for Cana- dians to be worthy of their country and the sacrifices of the past.

RELINQUISHMENT BY CANADA OF SHARE IN CABLE REPORTED Ottawa, July 20--Canada's com- plete relinquishment of her share in the Pacific Cable is understood to be one of the major provisions of the important cable-wireless merger just negotiated in Great Britain, and concerning which Sir Campbell Stuart, Chairman of the Pacific Board, was in conference this week with Dominion Govern- ment officials. In return for that relinquish- ment Canada will, it is understood, receive a direct and substantial money compensation. Inasmuch as the Pacific Cable has never been a remunerative business for its participants--Great Britain, Cana- da and the Antipodes--it is under- stood that the Canadian Govern- ment accepted the proposal for an outright sale of this country's in- terests in the cable. It was intimated during the last session by the PostmasterGeneral, Hon. P. J. Vepiot, that while dur- ing the war considerable money had been made from this cable, the profits were later put back into the business by providing a new cable, so that financially Canada is no better off than before the war, EXPLOSIONS DESTROY DISTILLING PLANT '(By Canadian Press) Philadelphia, Pa., July 21.--Six explosions in rapid succession de- stroyed an illicit distilling plant, its new equipment and alcoho] valued at $75,000 this morning.

CHINESE T0 TAKE DRASTIC MEASURES IF TREATY ENDED Nankin Files Notice That Treaty Between Two Na. tions is Ended -- CONSUL DECLINES NOTE All Japanese in China Are to Be Under Native Law -- July 20.--"Drastic mea« sures" will be forced upon Japan if the Nankin Government acts upon the notice, filed this morn+ ing with the Consul at Nankin, to the effect that the treaty between the two countries was ended, and that all the Japanese in China will now be treated under the terms of Chinese and interpational law, Today marked the end of threes months' extension of the treaty, granted by the Pekin Government.

Article 26 stated that if the treaty is not revised and ratified within six months, expiration will automatically be extended for ten years. Japan will insist upon the letter of the agreement if Nankin persists in renunciation. If, however, Nan kin will take up revision in a rea sonable attitude Japan will mot insist on clause 26.

Times readers will appreciate these instructive lessons, and if the points brought out by Miss Riggin are followed carefully a novice may be actually n-de into a fin- irhed swimmer. Miss Riggin was crowned Olyn- pic Diving Champion at the Olym- pic games in Antwerp in 1920 and is the youngest diving champion ever to hold the honor. Although written by an expert a famous authority on her subject, the ar'icles are done in 2 manner, which makes them easily under. standable. Incorporated in the ser- jes is the same- course which Miss Riggin has used successfully with thousands of pupils. Coming at a time when so many people are daily called upon to risk their lives in efforts to save others who are foolish enough to venture into lake water without knowing how to swim, Miss Rig- gin's daily advice should help con- siderably. The youngsters, particu- larly, will reap much benefit from the articles and we hope to see wast improvement in the mnatatorial prowess of every Times reader. »
