Even the revival of the Red Terror by the Cheka, a little more than a fortnight ago, after the assassination of the Soviet Minister to Warsaw failed to halt the increasing number of attacks on Soviet officials. Executions of hostages held in Lubianka Prison in Moscow and Goro-kovaija Prison in Leningrad are having little effect on the population, which refuses to be terrorized. A foreign diplomatic official stationed in Moscow reported that the present violent anti-British campaign being conducted by the Soviet authorities is an attempt to distract the attention of the population from domestic to foreign questions. The Bolshevist chiefs hope the war scare will create support for the Soviet G of the board the airmen who companying the expedition w ceived by the Minister, who wished them bon voyage on behalf of the Government, and also to expl; a general way, the objective of the Government with regard to the entire Hudson Bay project. NOT VINDICTIVE U. Religious Unrest Gripping India--Moslems Arm for Holy War on Hindus London.--The Evening News Allahabad correspondent says that religious unrest is reported from many parts of India and that despite orders to the contrary mass meetings, attended by thousands of persons, are being held at Lahore. The correspondent says that Syed Bukhari, self-appointed leader of the Moslems, has asked every Moslem to carry a native weapon and to eat beef in order to gain muscular strength, while women have been invited to carry knives "in preparation f< fight to maintain Moslem hoijor." An appeal has been made to the government to remove Chief Justice Sir R. B. Shadi Lai, a Hindoo, and to substitute an Englishman or a Moslem. The correspondent says that the support of the demonstrators' funds probably comes from the Khalifat committee. The religious influence of the leaders was described as considerable, with support of the Moslem masses for a holy war against the Hindoos S.

Lord Darling, saying that he was a species of twentieth century "Caractacus," who was dragged at the chariot wheel of Britain's ancient conquerors, declared: "It is lucky it Vas Britain from whom you gained you? independence, for if it another nation they never would have forgiven you." Wickham Steed ventured the prophecy that a day greater for the world than American Independence Day would be the day of America's declaration for interdependence and -operation for the advancement of human rights, human liberties and human respect for the law. _ PRACTICAL AVIATION Six Planes and Equipment to be Taken for Survey Work Extending Over Eighteen Months in Hudson Bay Territory.

Ramsay Macdonald, leader of the Labor Opposition, moved a vote of censure on the Government on the question of the reform of the Lords, basing his motion on the charge that the Government had received no mandate from the people for its proposed changes. The motion was defeated 362 to 167. w JHie Prime Minister had to listen to ^N8t ;, from Laborftes, Liberals and Conservatives. John Buchan, newly elected to the House, voiced in his maiden speech the views of the dissenting Conservatives. Mr. Lloyd George, the Liberal Leader, declared that in the past>the Liberal Government, in considering reform of the House of Lords, had de-ided to leave "the ramshackle thing where it was." Discussing the hereditary aspects of the reform proposals, Mr. Lloyd Gedrge questioned whether there were 200 Peers who, by training, experi-of mental qualities, had the necessary qualifications for revising sighted at intervals i ing landed in some more northeasterly part of the continent.

The Provincial Government, which has taken all necessary steps to investigate the theory that the intrepid avfators might have survived the perils of the Alatntic to "crash" in some remote fastness of Quebec, has received definite word that the "sunset lights" used by the Onatchway craft could easily be mistaken for flares or distress signals, and actually are responsible for raising the hopes of the whole world. eomph Since the weird "signals/' were first letter of it. observed there has been a rush of j In tho ai relief forces to Chicoutimi from ail magnificent, full-blooded, traaccend-parts cf the continent, and the De-' ental stereotypes, people who imagin-partment of Lands and Forest3 has ed that the standardization of effi-spared no co-operation with these ex-1 ciency meant that men were not hu-peditions to establish whether Nun-; man and that everybody was to 1:3 gesser and Coli were alive.

Speaking upon personality, Lord Byng described it as a quality which nobody had been able to define. Though it was the biggest reality ever conceived, it could not be dissected. The opposite to the men with personality were stereotypes.
