The special circumstances in- clude high rates on this continent for short-term money, and a grow- ing tendency in Great Britain to look with more favor upon Canadian in- vestments. About a month ago, it was announced that the time was not far distant when Ontario would enter once more the British money market. Yesterday, Hon. J. D. Monteith, Pro- viucial Treasurer, anonunced that the province has completed negotia- tions with the Bank of Montreal whereby a sale of one-year Treasury Bills to the amount of £2,000,000 has been arranged in London on a 4% discount basis. Cost of underwriting the issue, stamp duties, printing, etc. will bring the net cost to the pro- vince to a basis of 5.118 per cent, which in view of the present condi- dition of the money market si con- sidered to be excellent financing on the part of Ontario, "During the last six months, as the financial world knows," the Min- ister explained, "high-grade securities have been bringing a wery low price; money has been very tight, and the rate high. Owing to this situation the Department was prompt to out the English market, result of which is that we have been able to sell $10,000,000 of short-term issue Treasury Bills at a very attractive rate, compared with what we could receive either in Canada or the Uni- ted States." 'Previous to. entering the lish market, enquiries had been to i short-term mone in this country and the United States, and the rates quoted varied from 5% to 6%, several large institutions mot be- ing interested, owing to financing the t crop, etc. Weighed down by credit conditions, All Nations May Sign SCORES "DANGEROUS PROJECTS OF HALF BAKED SOCIALISM" (Cable Service to The Times by The Canadian Press) Cheltenham, Eng, Sept. 25.-- Sober minds of patriotic citizens should be rallied against "danger- ous projects of half-baked social- ism," and the "kaleidoscopic con- tortions of Lloyd George politics ~--declared Winston Churchill, Chancellor of the Exchequer, in a by-election speech last night. $20,000 ROBBERY STAGED BY THUGS IN WAREHOUSE Silks, Satins, Jewelry Stolen from Gordon McKay Co., Toronto Toronto, Sept. 25--With brazen effrontery, thieves broke into the premises of Gordon, McKay Com- pany, wholesale dry goods, 48 Front Street west, almost opposite the Union Station, some time between Saturday morning, September 22, and yesterday morning, and stole silks, satins, crepes, taffetas and various cther clothing materials and watches at various prices, to the value of conservatively $25,000. Seven large trunks, also stolen from the firm, are thought te have been used by the desperadoes to carry away their loot, The police are ihvestigating the affair, but up to the present they have not a single clue as to the identity of the thieves, or as to where the stolen goods were conveyed. The list of goods stolen includes 37 gold-fileld and gold-plated, 7, 15, 17 and 2l-jewelled men's watches; eight dozen cheap watches; 58 ladies' wat- ches, gold, gold-filled and gold-plat- ed, several of them inlaid with dia- monds and sapphires; 28 other wat- ches, wrist and pocket type, gold and gold-filled, and the trunks aforemen- tioned, The silks and satins, of course, form the most precious part of the booty, and comprise the major por tion of the loss, retailing, as they do, at anywhere from one dollar to three and four dollars a yard. A check-up of the loss by the officials of the firm shows that 11,375 yards of these materials were stolen, valued at over $15,000. Police Reticent All police sources of information were closed to the press last night. Inquiries elicited the résponse that little was known, even by the auth- orities, of the affair, of how it was managed, or anything else, It would scem that the intimate details of the robbery arc even be- ing kept from members of the force, save those at workson the case and the higher officials, It is evident, though, that the thieves had abundant time in which to carry out their depredations, Ac- cording to the firm officials, every- thing aparently was all right at Sat- urday porning. Nothing was missed, and it was not until the place was reopened Monday morning that the theft was discovered, The raided premises are situated at Bay and Front streets, within sight of persons going to and from the Union Depot. It seems a reasonable theory that the gang worked with the aid of a truck or some such large vehicle, and that the trunks, filled with the booty, wer€ carried away on this, METHUSELAH, GOOD-BY (London Sunday Express) Sir Henry Thornton has been called in to advise the railways how to manage their business.

Dewar has been ap- pointed to command H.M.S. Tiger. His command was an- nounced in today's naval ap- pointments, The Royal Oak affair cen- tred about a dance aboard the battleship Royal Oak and differ- ences which arose between De- war and Commander Henry Daniel and Rear Admiral Col- lard, The action of the Admiralty in appointing Captain Kénnth G, B. Dewar to H.M.S. Tiger within a few months of his dismissal from the H.M.S, Royal Oak for *"com- duct subersive to discipline," is be- lieved to be without precedent, In naval circles, Captain Dewap's appointment is regarded as an act of grace although command of the Tiger, a battle eruiser used as a sea going gunnery ship, does not compare in status with the com- mand of the Royal Oak which is a flagship of the first battle squads ron of the Mediterranean fleet, STRUCK BY A CAR STILL UNCONSCIOUS Welland Man Victim of a Highway Accident--30 Stitches Needed (By Canadian Press) Welland, Ont., Sept, 25.--~John Saposkey of this city is in the hos- pital with severe injuries received when he was knocked down on the , Welland-Port Colborne Highway by a car driven by Ernest McKay of Port Colborne, Thirty stitches were required ahd he was still un- conscious today, 187 BEER LICENSES Winnipeg, Man., Sept. 24.--One hundred and eighty-seven hotels in Manitoba have heen granted beer licenses since the mew Manitoba Liquor Control Act was put inte effect six months ago, Of these, 187 are in Winnipeg and the re- mainder scattered throughout the province.

THE CHAIN STORK (New York Commonwealth) It is hard to decide upon the gens eral social utility of the new order. The "chain" , gives {its managers shorter hours, relative economic ses curity and opportunity for advanze- ment. On the other hand, it clearly destroys the quality known as fn» dependence, which was an indispen- sable corollary to the pioneer spirit and made possible the appearance of an estimable middle class, and which usually keeps the average man from advancing far. Perhaps the best thing than can be said for the "chains" fs that they tend to stimulate buying and go to foster production, Australian Seamen Support Says Dock Workers in Strike - Conference Disarmament : Might be "Tower of Babylon" (Cable eSryice to The Times by Canadian Press) Geneva, Sept. 25.--A terrifying {be convoked without Tower of Babylon is Hon.
