ENLARGEMENT OF U.S. NAVY URGE Senator Reed of Missouri Sees Whole World Engaged in Preparations Washington, Feb, 1,.--A call for a strong navy was thundered to the United States Senate yester- day by Senator Reed of Mis- gouri, who, on the eve of his de- parture from public life, spoke to a crowded chamber about. the "'dreams of enthusiasts, the prop- aganda of pacifists and the treason of inter-nationalists." He concluded with the declara- tion that, in what he regarded as an armed 'world, the first duty of the Senate was 'to protect Am- erica, to make certain that we are safe, and to close our ears to the whimperings and whinings of that class of people who have too often led us into | mistakes and blunders," The Missourian, speaking on the bill to construct fifteen cruisers Diamonds!

Recalling his military ser- vice in the Spanish-American and Great Wars, he shouted: "I am not ashamed to admit that I am a pacifist." "Peace treaties will not arrest bullets," Reed said, adding: Not Wars of Valor "Wars of today are no longer wars of valor, but of machines; valor half armed cannot - resist valor fully armed. The opinion of the world is determined by the policies of other nations, and all are armed, "In England that opinion 4s manifest by a standing army of 408,915 men and in a navy of 700 great fighting ships; in fortresses that lie on the shores of the world and dot the seas; in guns that command every avenue of progress. "Would you hear the voice of the world, O you dreamers of dreams? List! Your ears will he grated by the roar of furnaces which are forging the plates of ships of war, Listen, and you can hear the chorus of mighty ham- mers shaping the keels of great battleships. There will come to you the hum of countless lathes shap- ing rifles and machine guns. You can hear the whir of the wings of innumerable aeroplanes, "Look, and you can behold the skilled engineers of every nation as they plan and direct the con- struction of armaments. They are calculating distances of every sort and eleva.ing guns, Look again-- millions of men are marching and counter-marching in command of skilled officers, and back of these armies are people who believe in these policies and who support them uncomplainingly with taxes," 13 MAN JURY DISCUSSED FoR THE KING'S BENCH Lengthy Trials Halted By Incompetence or lliness of Jurymen Winnipeg, Man., Jan. 31,--Mer- its of the thirteen-man jury for lengthy trials are being considered by judgés of Manitoba's court of King's Bench. Two incidents dur- ing the current assizes have oceca- sioned informal discussions on this point, which may eventually result in acceptance of the extra-juror system. Recently a trial of a criminal case was" postponed owing to i{ll- ness of a juryman, and in another case a new trial was ordered by the court of appeal when defense coun- sel established mental fincompet- ence of one of the jurymen, It is claimed that at least one, and possibly both, of these situa- tions might have been avoided under the 13-man. system. The change, if brought into effect, would involve amendment to the Jury Act, a provicial statute which could be changed by the legisla- ture, The thirteenth juryman would sit at the hearing of the evidence, but the yerdiet would be returned by twelve. The extra juror would act in case of fliness of one of the twelve. LUMBER F.L.

King Amanullah, he sald, had formally announced his abdication to the British Government, Con- sequently, until it was clear that, in spite of his ahdication, Aman- ullah was regarded as their King by the people of Afghanistan, the British Government would be un- able to regard his Government as the rightful Government of Afgh- anistan, NEW PRAIRIE CORN Macrorie, Sask,, Feb, 1,--A new variety of corn especially adapted for growth on the Canadian prair- ies has been perfected by H, Wil. lams, well-known local farmer, He has given it the title of Dent Corn, and at the recent provincial seed fair it took first place in the corn exhibits, REPAIRING 10 King St. W.
