With the foe in good shape the game proved fast and gave some of the fast skaters a chance to show their prowess. Doth teams certainly looked a whole lot better than on any previous appearance this year but still they seemed to be Jacking in mid season pep. The play was v / even and the puck remained afound centre ice and the defence area a great deal of the time. Neither team opened up very much to go into the cor- ners and bang the puck at cloge quarters. Burr in the Oshawa net deserves a great deal of credit for keeping the score down as low as he did. He was all over the net and played a game similar to Chabot for the Leafs against Ot- tawa. He is a greut goal tender, as cool as one cold wish to see in action. Lortie was the danger- ous man all evening ad without a doubt had the fastest shot on elhter toam, and how he used it. He was responsible for the only counter by the visitors and cer- tainly deserved a few more, Thompson a co-worker on the defense with Lortie exhibited som? nice body checking and some very eff _ctive stick handling. He and Lortie pair well together, The for- ward line, Drinkle, Bradd' and Peterson dil not show up quite so well last night as they did in the Port Hope game. They did not 8 Mm to get going together. Their solo rushes were quite good but they lacked real combination, Jack Gunn's understudies have a neat toam this year and al- though quite a number of last year's regulars have gene into the old men's clasi plenly of new material scems to have filled their places. They have a nice defence with Lunney and Jamieson and their forward line. Although emall of stature and weight they work well together, Sammy Lowe's gang are going to have a hard time beating them a: decisively as they did last year. First Period The game looked like a wash- out at the start as ncithéer team hit their stride ana the fans be- gan to get restless. Most of the rushes ended in a heap in the goal mouth. They settlod down a bit however towards the end and worked in a few nice shots on both goalles. Noae of these hh auy effect on the stalwart net pro- toctors, Taken all together there was not a great deal of excitement in the opening spasm both teams appeared to be testing out their opponents more than anything else. They were playing half de- fensive making a speedy rush now and again but usually shooting wide of the net and then skating back to the defense area, If all the shots that hit the end of the rink were contred on the goal the score might have teen different. Second Period The second period was the heart Lurner, thrills, spills and disap- . pointments ran rampant. This was the best period of the game and the boys worked like bull pups and showed a brand of real hoe- key. The combination of both teams was excecdingly fast and well used in this twenty minutes ang the puck carricis began to get warmed up, Burr turned away ghot after shot in this perind without the sligkhtest tremor, however about half way through all his skill and rabbit's feet were without avail when Jamieson sail- ed down the pond, rammed his way past the defence and gleaned a well earned goal. Here is where Lortie became very coffective and with seven minutes to go he bazan to work his way toward the Bowmanville net.

It sure did burn its way through the air, This made the score 1-1 but the homesters, inspired by the pleading and threats of the fans, reaped another before the bell called the period off. Brown did the scoring. It was a nice shot but not quito so speedy as Lortie's, yet there was plenty of pep be- hind it and Vie Burr was given little chance to save, This left the locals one up at the end of the second. The third an dfinal lapsé opened with Lortie trying hard to send home another hot one but he was off the nct this period and his sights seemed to need adjustment, The way those shots hit the end of the rink almost gave the crowd heart failure but he was doomed to be out of luck this time as were the rest of the team, The score remained 2-1 for the rest of the game and the visitors were seit home with thelr first loss of the year. There were eight penalties registered in all, three to Oshawa and five to Bowmanivlle with no majors and hardly any real rough stuff, The line ups were: Oshawa---Coal, Burr; defense, Lortie and Thompson; centre, Drinkle; wings.

CHINA WORSE NOW THAN 30 YEARS AGO Shanghai Resident Blames Students for Whole Trouble 1 Montreal, Jan. 11.--China is in a worse state today than she has been for the last 50 years, stated W. L. Gerrard, Shanghai, China, who has resided in the Orient for the last 33 years. Mr, Gerrard is returning home to England for a vacation, and is at the Windsor Hotel. He said the traditional Chinaman's word was no longer as good as his bond, and that trade was hard hit by condition being so unstaple. The unfortunate condition of China was due to the fact that nobody could rule it. Laws were made, but nobody could enforce them. China claimed to have sover- eign rights, "The. whole trouble in China has been caused by students, They come to the West to get educated, and then go back Last. They cannot live in their country on the money they get, and foment trouble." The missionaries, he thought, did little if any good, even though they did Christianize some. Foreign agents were worried in Shanghai over the prospect of extra- territorial rights being cancelled by the Chinese, he stated, - He did not believe the Chinese could enforce this, but if they ever did, the for- eigners would have to move out. For with a Chinese judge, the Occidental would have to pay absurd fines and likely get little if any justice. The Chinese tongue did not always echo the thoughts of the Chinese mind, he said, and after 33 years in the East he could not follow their cerebal vagaries. For that reason, he believed the Pacific Relations Con- vention recently held in Kyoto was likely to accomplish little good, for what they would say on such an oc- casion would not necessarily be what they would do. Character is not made in a crisis it is only oxhibited. On her first ocean voyage, an old lady asked the captain, "What's that down there?" "That's the etoerage, madam," he replied.

If his claims are correct, Soviet politics--eo far as the productive concessions are concern® ed, at least--have been a failure.

Skohelev nays--Dbut will not tolerate hers "robber colonial exploitation." The truth of the situation is probably that the Soviet authori- ties are disappointed with the type of concessions they have had so far. The manufacture of pencils or knit goods or celluloid goods, on shoe string Investments, appealed to them five years ago. Today their own industry is growing so fast that these concessions have lost all meaning.

Crisall Spoke Friday Night in the United Church "The Power of Prayer," was the subject of a very able discourse de- livered in the United Chuerh Fridov evening by the Rev, J. M. Crisall, rector of All Saints' Courch in coun- nection with the annual Week of Prayer services being held this week under the auspices of the Whitby Ministerial Association, There was a large congregation. Rev, Mr. Cri- sall stressed the value and power of prayer as the solution of the prob- lems of life, and as a factor in deep- ening the spirithal life of the Chris- tian. He showed many instances where prayer had accomplished great things. On Thursday night in the Baptist Church, Rev. John Lindsay, of St Andrew's spoke on the subject, "1930 Daily Prayer," advocating that pray- er should be a daily part of every life. On Saturday evening the Week of Prayer services will be brought to a successful conclusion when Rev. A. R. Sanderson speaks in the Salvation Army Citadel on "Answered Pray- er. The Week of Prayer in Whitby has become an institution, and the Ministerial Association notes with in- terest that the services are gaining in popularity.

The coun- try will not be content with oppor- tunism however agile in the wake of events. Quite Incomplete "What is known of the British intentions is manifestly incomplete. "The Government, like its pre- decessors, is pledged to one main principle in the abolition of sub- marines--a principle already rul- ed out by the vigorous insistence of two Af not three "of the five powers coming to the parley. The Governmé&nt, like its predecessors, is also pledged not to exceed par- ity of naval strength with the Un- ited States. Through Premier Mac- Donald and President Hoover the two countries have provisionally obtained a version of parity, which is practically applicable, It is con- ceivable that this agreement will survive the conference or, rather, at the worst it is conceivable that it should not survive, "By the express desire of both countries the agreement is treated merely as a contribution to the common stock. It is in nd way binding on others and does not dictate their naval valuation or se- curity. "It {s of permanent and inestim- able importance because it ends all apprehensions as to a competi- tion in sea power between the two leading navies of the world and does mot pretend to exhaust the possibilities of the conference. This agreement will not be upset but may be amended. if not for the better then for the worse by the conference, and though essential to the limitation of armaments it is very far from exhausting the pos sibilities for their reduction. "It the British delegation fis not equipped, regarding principles, with something more than an Am- erican understanding about parity and something more than its well- grounded but - academic ambitten for scrappink submarines, it will do little to shape the work of the conference and much to disappoint those whom it represents.

But today the old fellow would be anything except his traditionally Jolly self if he had to serve 120,000, 000 people over 650,000 miles of surfaced roads. 80 he uses some 3,400,000 motor trucks, with a combined tonnage of 4,500,000. The reindeer, meanwhile, rests contentedly in far-off Arctic meadows after long ages of service to the little Kings and Queens of this earth. Yet Santa must be judicious in the use of his fleet of motor trucks. If they were all out upon the roads at the same time the resulting conges- tion would make the average traffic cop roll over and play dead.

Could this enormous horsepower be used in a single effort it would be sufficient to lift a building 222 times the weight of the Woolworth building in New York City; the same force would propel the Bremen almost 81% times across the Ate lantic Ocean, The total air pres. sure per square inch in the tires of this vast fleet would equal 500,000, 000 pounds. The nation's trucks during Christmas season used about 000,000 gallons of gasoline, which, if poured out, would form a lake about 3,000 feet long, 750 feet wide and 36 feet deep. The value of thig gasoline would be approximately $54. 400,000. The total original value of our great truck fleet is, roughly, $2,400, 000,000, which is equal to more than twice the national yearly road in. vestment. And of this yearly road bill motor vehicle owners pay $925.- 000,000, or, 57 per cent.,, of which owners of commercial motor vehicles pay approximately $250,000,000. The railroads, for which every new or resurfaced road is a feeder, pay $35, 000,000, or slightly over 2 per cent, Also, motor trucks are today prac- tically the sole means of supplying the railroads with the freight and exnress which they carry.

Is it to be taken that the Washington conference has said the last word r¥yout battleships? It is to be assumed that further success in the restriction of ecapi- tal ships would have no influence on the other and greater difficul- ties before the conference? "The Washington conference left one loose end usefully trailing. Part of the plan of its American promoters was to confine the first experiment in the limitation of strength, There is no other explanation to account for the fact that the maxi- mum tonnage 6f a battleship was fixed at 35,000. 'No scientific reason can be ad- vanced why a battleship should be even half that size. The only de- fence is that another nation will build them. Competition created them but strategy does not require them. It would be a bold and pop- ularly intelligible stroke for peace and economy {f Britain, Japan and the United States would agree to trust to common gence rather than to convention in measuring their battleship strength. Such an agree- ment could not fail to have a pow- erful effect on the subsequent and less 'tractable business of the con- ference.
