Wednes- day was fine with the exception of a driving rain which eame about noon, the rest of the day being find. Thursday was for the most part cloudy with prevailing high winds and some snow. The hot roast goose supper, o Wednesday was largely attended. The old slogan, "It pays to adver tise," seemed to bring satisfactory results at this, a church festival as well ag it does in the everyday business. life, The largest com- pany that has ever attended a church supper here, found that it was everything that it was adver- tised to be. The attentive walters heard many complimentary re- marks, which bespoke loud praise of the quality and guantity of ser- vice, which made the supper such a success, : The gay festoonings of green and yellow crepe paper, and table bouquets of yellow chrysanthe- .mums_ proved their effectiveness in the setting of the tables, whieh linen. table clo- 'glags ware, an 4 u the Fo | of salads, and various kinds of cake and pie, was served.

The method of the setting of this offspring of the Third Internationale was by under- ground process. The goal of this revolutionary body, it. was brought up, is bringing about an armed up- rising that would blow up the exist- ing orde. in Canada and set up a proletarian dictatorship after the mannet of the Russian Soviets. In connection with this fiery phrases and slogans are being re- peated time after time in the cita- tion of this testimony: "Moscow-- the torch of world proletarian revo lution," "the armed uprising," "mass action", "civil war," "destruction of the capitalistic state of Canada," etc. One is astonished to hear how the work of Communism is spread among different classes of people in Canada, various national groups, children, youth and the grown up, The Communist Party has set up the most efficient machinery for the spreading of their ideas the world has evenknown. And the switch to this machinery is in Moscow, as the testimony purports to show. The reading of the mass of this material tends at times to be mono- tonous, inspite of its evident import ance. One is likely to catch many a person yawning or dosing. One feels that way at times himselt, I've scen Malcolm Bruce, one of the accused, napping during the reading of the report of the Third Internationale by the Crown. The courtroom is practically ab- sent of the spectators. Only the witnesses, close relatives, like the wives of the accused, lawyers and law students and press are permitted in. The corridors of the city hall are heavily guarded by the police officers who stand in double guards every few paces and turn back hundreds of people anxious to get in, Many communists or their sym- pathisers are attempting to crash in each day. Among the present spectators to- day I've noticed the wives of several accused men, There was also pres- ent J. M. Kowtaluk, the Ukrainian speaker whose pronouncements had caused a Red riot in the Ukrainian church in Toronto at a lecture given by him a week ago, He is a very interesting spectator, for the reason that because among the nine accused men sit two men of his own nationality, and the fact that the term "Ukrainian" is frequently used in the course of testimony. Mr. Summerville, acting for the Crown, by the way,privately intim- ated to me, that on Thursday he would bring up a mass of material pertaining to the Red propaganda among the Ukrainians in Canada." It is a notable fact to see among the nine accused men representing many nationalities--a veritable In- ternationale ! The alleged leaders who fate and that of their party now hangs in the.balance of the Justice-~the Brit- ish Justice noted for fair dea] and integrity--sit in and about the pris- oners docket in the order of im- portance in their party: Tim Buch, Ewen, Boychuck, Hill, Bruce, Gor linsky, alias Gilmour,, Ponovitch, Sam Cohen, alias Carr, and Cacic, all four in the prisonérs dock, Ther appear as well dressed men, their hands bearing marks of good trimming and absense of calouses which points they were not occupied in hard manual work. As to ages the majority of the accused are anproximately young men, Malcolm Bruce is the oldest, his hair just beginning to grey. Physically most of them are lean men, particularly in the case of Tim Buck ,Ewen and Malcolm Bruce. Boychuck' and Popovich are the only ones who could brag of resembling "the pot+ belied" rich, as tar as their corpul- ent appearances are concerned. It is a notable fact, that most of the jurymen are also lean men, very modestly dressed: all comparatively young men--farmers, storekeepers, labour4rs, The defense and the ac- cused did some heavy eliminations on Tuesday when the jury was bes ing selected. Ali those who appears ed to be wellsdressed, or seemly belonging to a middle class were promptly challenged by one of the accused or the defense council, Of the accused nine, John Boy- chuck and Popoovich seem to be the most affected by the proceed ings as far as their expressions manifest--their faces are flushed, they cast uneasy glances and watch intently every move and word that pass: at times Boychuck even seems to be very mad about some- thing. Tim Buck, the alleged leader of the Communist Party, is too busy with his notebook and fre- quent communication with the de- fence councel, Hugh McDonald, to affect any set expression; Ewen sits with all the grave seriousness and is also busy with notes and ex- changes of words with defence councel; Hill, Cohen and Golinsky maintain adamant expression, ale though at the mention of their names their faces are either flushed of grow pale; Malcolm Bruce main- tains a stoic resignation, although at smile will flit over his thin face; Cacic, the Jugo-Slav, appears the most buoyant of the nine, He watches the proceedings with interesting amusement, smiles at the reporters, and seems to have a jolly 'good time. f First Relaxation The first relaxation of the grave and utterly solemn atmos: here that eawraps the Supreme Jourt sitting in Fall Assizes uns der Mr. Justice Wright, in the frial of the alleged communis leaders, occurred this afternoen; just before adjournment, when Joseph Sedgewick, assistant pros gucuting attorfiey, read to. the court a letter supposedly writs ten by Tim Buck, one of the a¢: cused, to a comrade in Montreal, in which he complained: "I heat that the demonstrati in Mon. rea! was not so hot. Bees t. demonstrations in Montreal an Toronto are coming to be a b) flop, however, in other places our demonstrations are ploking up in cne town their own police had been beaten up and one had to go to "hospital" ~~ | The whole court chuckled. Inner Work Revealed Each day of the trial the Crown produces in the court ad- ditional testimony of sensational nature from the heaps of files teized at the communist head- Gaarters in the rald that was made same time ago, and at bomes of the accused. Most of this documentary evidence is of highly confidential nature, or gccret, with postscripts to the re- cipient to destroy the same after reacCing it, or discussions at the committee. It was revealed that Moscow through its Ecel or the Ceatral Executive Committee of the 3rd International dictates in all matters to Communist parties the world over and passes censure upor: the laxity in the activities of individual members of the par- ty. This body in Moscow also expells the members of the party who lose their favor. Thus were expelled some of the Canadian Red leaders: Jack = McDonald, Mike Buhay, Margolis, Stokaluk and others. One of thé pamphlets seized at the Communist headqwarters and addressed to the Communists in Canada and read to the Court, sounds: "the decisions of the 3rd Internationale are your highest commands. You must be a Communist not only within the party, but also at home, in the thop, on the street. Think what 500,000 Bolsheviks under Lenin did, ----- They led 160,000,000 Rusglan people to a great vic- tory." A great many of these secret ~ommunications and literature came to Canada from Mos- cow via Berlin, through com- raunist agents stationed there, It appears Berlin is used as centre for international propaganda. Urges Revolution One of the letters from Mos- cow is addressed to all the com- 1ades, with communist greetings, and sefzed at the home of Tim Buck, urges the followers of the 3rd Internationale to intensive agitation and propaganda against the so-called, Itaperialistic war, and urges to continue the class y struggle and the revolutionary movement in the British colonies, One document pleads the move- 1aent for an independence of Can- ada and secession from the Brit- ish Empire. "Hands Off China" Inspector Elliot, of the Pro- vineial Police, identified In court a document eeized at the raid upcn the Reds emanating from Moscow, and which was read to the jury containing confidential instructions to the Communists In Canada to organize a support for Chinese Red revolution; ad- viving to stage street demonstra- tions with slogan "Hands off Ch nm." Damaging Document One or the highly damaging documents read to the Court was the Resolutions of lwenum of the munist Perty. fraphs were: ' "The entire orientation of the varty to trade-union work must repeatedly emphasized by "To secure the leadership of mass actions (strikes, Action® which often break spon- taneously, and lead these actions along the channels of organized political struggle, especially in the form of mass political strikes, which bring the working class towards the task of revolutionary struggle for power." And the same document in- structs the Communists in the fight against various church or- ganizations and racial groups in Canada opposing Communists, among which, it mentions the 1 nited Church of Canada, the Churches of All Nations, various Ukrainian patriotic groups which it defines as the Ukrainian seml- military, fascist organizations. The report sets: 'The cultural mass-language organizations must be of a clear proletirian character. To finaly eradicate the hourgeois forms of entertain- ments, proletarian plays, lectures on atheism, current events, class- er in English language, physical culture, ete., must be further de- veloped. All Influences of the petty theories and practices based on bourgeoisie culture of "art for art's sake" which maintain an attitude of "neutrality'" to the class struggle, should be tirmly combated."" To Organize Women In another document presented to the Court by the Crown as Testimony contains an order from Moscow to organize Cana- dian women, "Take hold upon women in the factories. The Labor Utility Lea- gue to enroll women into its par- ty---women engaged in specific industries. Recruit women into Labor Defense League and Soviet Union Defense." A list of 15 candidates for students to Lenin Institute in Moscow compiled by the Execu- tives of the Communist Party in Carada which were to be sent to Moscow for Instructions in Communis wag read in the Court by thé Crown. The names deucted every nationality in Can- ada A great number of spectators were allowed in Court to watch the proceedings. Three of the spectators, however, were thrown out of the courtroom by Mr, Jus- tice Wright for passing remarks between themselves, The accused nine are growing restless with each day as thé tes- timony piles up against them. Each of them presents a very sad figure. activities of Some of the ablest Victorian prelates . , , could not always re- sist the kind of joke which showed that they were stil] half laymen at heart. . , , When Creighton re- quested a priest in the London diocese to discontinue the illegal use of incense, and the silly fel- low replied, "My lord, I have the cure of souls," the bishop is re- ported te have said, 'Do you reals ly suppose that souls are like her- | Ma and ma foltared went Enlarged | Canadian Com- | Some of the para- | | harsh li7hts, be carried on the following line, | Ecef: | unemployment | movement, demonstrations, ete.) | | Yittle drnr at tha rishi onened pnd rings, which can only be cured by smoke?" | "You'll say nothing and you'll do nothing," she said, in a voice that silenced all five of her hearers. "You've done enough, Joe Urant, We aren't your sort, We don't be- long ~here, And we do belong--together. I'm not much--you've been laughing at me all this time and I guess anyone who understood what was g on would laugh at me!--but I wouldn't be anything, IT wouldn't have a right even to try to be ideal-- if I would- n't stick to my own folks! I don't care--" Her eyes were blazing, her level, pitiless voice bored through him-- "I don't care" sald Maggie, trembling, "what you think of us! My father and mother belong to me, and my sister does, and I'm as glad Joe," she ended passionately, tears spilling from her eyes now, but her mouth steady, 'I'm as glad to be done with you as you are with me!" Bhe turned to Mr. Merrill, who had sat with a fan of big bills open In his fingers | watching her with a sort of breath- less concentration. It was almost as if he were afraid that she would | not dare say what she was so rap- | idly and furiously saying, and as if | he liked to hear her. ; She took three of the bills, folded them, shut them into her flat worn purse, » "That's thirty," she sald to him with a nod, 'I owe you thirty. Thank you, Tt won't be more than | that. Don't--" and, with a glance of | utter contempt toward Joe, she dropped her voice to confidence-- | a confi'ence that George Merrill, | under the circumstances, found in- finitely touchinw, between his hum- | blest little emplovee and himself-- 'Don't let Joe follow us, Mr, Mer- rill," said Maggie. "I mean it. I'm never going to see him again, I'm done. Blindlv, swiftly, hugging her father tightly to her one one side. | holdinz her mother's hand tight on | the other, Maggie went with them from the room.

"Maggie, if you get him we're fix- ed for life," Liz said eagerly. "I won't" she assured her sister. "Maggie -- why do you act 50 funny about it?" As far as my! shaming you to-night goes, why, 1| didn't do anything that all the girls of his crowd aren't doing every' day!" Liz pleaded eagerly. 'And if | he makes that an excuse for break- ing his engagement" "I'll sue him," said Ma heavily. "Here in this kitchen he sat, last Sunday afternoon, and tole me with his own mouth--" 'You don't have to sue him!" Liz Maggle sald deliberately, "he's 80+ ing to sail tiué morning for Jagan, He sees that he'd only burt me mase it harder here" Her shamed, hopeless voice died away, "Bo 1 guess I'd better do these dishes," she said. 'He'll forget you before he's past the Heads!" her mother predicted, in the awful silence that followed. "You can't depend on them rich people, dearie," her father, sorrow~ ful and sympathetic, said timidly. "Maggie, they just got him to say he'd do that so0's to break it off!" "Lizabeth said indignantly, Maggie loked at them all apathe- tically. "I know all that, I know; he loves me now, but that they're going to kill it, if they can, I knows his ship pulls out in twenty minutes and that I'll never see him again," she said simply, "But--" she glan= ced from one to the other--"with things here like they are," she said, "and Ma like she is, and Pa like he is, and you like you are, Liz--winat can I do?

She did not cry, she spoke evenly and gently, almost without expres- sion. But at the finish she reached up suddenly to the shelf above the sink. and snatched from its position the ideal leafizt, with its cryptic dighevelled and verv ou'et, wes atk-| there was a fat little bottle of cream mescaze: "The way to begin livi and Maggie had left the mixture of 1a ideal life 5-10 begin ng ing ker, for Go's ra%» to ston Marie was nl-adine with a clerk | askine hb'm to hurry a cortain ones | and gaatoneturedly epanah, ha Ald | hurry it, and a'mast immediately a Tizahoth ana Cheeg Plysrs snd an- other piv] and pan pams ont The instant sha gaw hee darine | nretty, indansndent sictar trim-ton. | ed and tearfl and wvhite.fosnq Marie's heart sasmed ta turn lin- uid and ronm ard bald out har arms, 'LizeYeth eancht her and rrisd. torathes AnA whan Jndea Jonted down over hic deh flegnnrovine of thie econfreing Mamnin with her fans wet and har line traphling pnd har Title arm Hip¥sd tleht in 'Tirabhoth's, was lookin" imnlorin~ly un.

He had come home for "his early Saturday lunch; he was as shocked as themselves, 'Where's Maggie?" he asked ap- Jrshensively. "Did she see the pap- er? "She's at the store, of course," Ma answered disapprovingly. ° "The store was closed to-day. They're puttin' in the automat. She must--" Pa said vaguely--"she must of went out!" "Maggie wouldn't never do any- thing--des'prit--" 'Lizabeth was be- ginning, when Maggie herself came She came in quietly, through the kitchen door, and stood looking at them as if she were surprised to find them all there together, Her plain little new suit was brushed and trim--the homespun upon which Maggie's heart had been set for weeks before she really dared to spend the necessary dollars on it. Her cheeks were red, but her | beautiful eyes looked tired and were set in delicate shadows. "Fevven's sakes, where've you been? You had Ma and me wor- ried," 'Lizabeth said.
