This {is being done at Morristown and {Ogdensburg. The Départment of La- {bor has answered with a very caustic letter stating that it would net con- sider such a proposal | Kingston people cannot cross to {the United States via Cape Vincent, {no matter what amount of head tax | they offer to pay or how urgent their business. They can 'not enter the port of Cape Vincent under any consider- ation. | This blocking of the States from Kingston's usual entrance is having {such a detrimental effect on business {and on the convenience of the peo- {ple of the district that pressure of ithe. most severe kind should be i brought to bear on the U. 8. Depart- iment of Labor to have the foolish regulation of May 1st rescinded. It {makes it imperative that the Canada | Steamships lines build a $5,000 build- iing at the Cape before a service can ybe carried on. This company can {not do with any hope of financial sue- cess as the business does not war- {rant such an outlay. {| The people of Kingston' are being I made the "goat" between the two | parties, and to-day the United States through the port of Cape Vincent, is {closed to Canadian traffic, | : Girls at Elmhurst. | Thirty girls of the Somme Club en- | tertained the convalescent soldiers at the Elmhurst Convalescent Home, Centre street, on Thursday evening.

Dr. Gould, general secretary of the MS.C.C., replied on behalf of the visitors, and gave some interest- ing reminiscences of his ministry in Kingston, and his work in Palestine. In the evening, a missionary meet- ing was held, at which Archdeacon Dobbs acted as chairman. Dr. Gould spoke on the subject, "The War and Christian Missions," and told of the evil effects it was feared the war would have on the work of missions. However, these evils had not occurred. Since the war contributions for the work had been larger, and the people had heen given a new vision of the call to ser- vice. Archdeacon Dobbs also spoke on the question of missions, pointing out how the people had been made to realize as a result of the war, the great need for missionary work. Wednesday morning, holy com- munion was celebrated by Rural Dean Crisp, and during the morning a business session was held. A resolution of sympathy was pass- ed and ordered to be sent to Mrs Mills and Major Arthur Mills, in the death of Bishop Mills, and a similar resolution was passed on the death of Canon Grout, clerical secretary of the diocese, A resolution was also passed, in connection with the resignation of Canon Forneri of St. Luke's church. The members expressed their appre- ciation of his work in the ministry, and especially at St. Luke's church, The sympathy of the members was also extended to Canon Forneri, in the death of his son, Lieut, Forner! at the front. On motion of Canon FitsGerald, a hearty welcome to the Deanery was extended to Rev. J. de Pencier Wright, the new rector of St. Luke's church, ' Rev. 8. E, Harrington, of Syden- ham, was unable to be present, and he sent a letter of regret which was read. ' Rural Dean Crisp gave an address on "The State of the Church in the Deanery", in which he presented a very interesting statement, summar- ized from the different reports of the parishes. Discussion followed. A hearty vote of thanks was ten- dered to the rector and his parish- luncheons provided at the sessions. On Wednesday afternoo the members heard a report Prof. H. Mitchell, on the council "8oc- ial service, and an interesting dis- cussion followed.
