Senator Blames War Threats On Germany, Russia, Italy (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Montreal, Nov. 18,--""War is the scourge of the masses," stated Sen- ator C. P. Beaubien at a meeting of the Young Men's Canadian Club held here yesterday. The League of Nations, which he characterized as mankind's greatest concerted ef- fort against war, was gradually fighting it, he said and time alone would record success or failure. Senator Beaubien said that the serious conditions in Europe today were aggravated by Mussolini's aloofness from France, his present marked leanings towards Germany and by Germany's marked leaning toward Russia, Ie declared that though Germany was prohibited from arming at home, was doing so indirectly through Russia in view of a Russian conflict with Poland. ~ He said that the situation was grave and that the control of Ger- many may slip to hands uplifted $ against France. Could Germany wage war, or was she penniless and powerless as Lloyd George states. could be answered by the increases since the war in her in- dustry. The coal industry had in- creased 48 per cent, the steel in- dustry, 38 per cent., the chemical products, 113 per cent, and inter- national trade, 29 per cent, The war bndget gince 1924 has increas- ed 50 per cet, and Von Seckt, the genius responsible for the Reich- wehr, openly claimed its superior- ity over the French ariny and stat. od that the defensive force of France would be shattered at the first blow, Senator Beaubien said. France lead by Briand, the apostle of peace, faces the future with patience and faith in disarm- ament, ho said.

The robbers left no clue which might lead to their discovery. Mr. Wray did not dis- cover his loss until five o'clock this morning when he arose to feed his poultry.

The thieves must have employed one or more trucks in carting the poultry away.
