CASE IN SUPREME. COURT SUIT OF OHARLES SELBY VS. MRS. CATHERINE KELLY. - Plaintiff Tells of Dealings With Mus. Kelly--Advanced Her Money, and Some of It Was Used to Purchase Arlington Hotel in Toronto, Before Justice Sutherland, in the on Monday after noon, the case of Charles Selby vs. Catherine R. Kelly, was commenced, Fiaiviifi's claim Is for $2,192.47, due on two promissory notes, and to enforcé an agreement for the as- signment and transfer of certain lands as security for this indebted- ness and for foreclosure of the said lands under the agreement. A. B: Cunningham appeared for the plaintiff, while Cohen & Cohen, of Toronto, represented the de- fence. TT In the witness box, Mr. Selby told of his dealings with Mrs. Kelly. He said be held a mortgage for $1,600 against her, three notes at $100 each; also a mortgage for $2,700, The last mortgage mentioned was dated Nov. 16th, 1916. 'Did you advance Mrs, Kelly any money after this?" asked Mr. Cun- ningham. "Yes," replied the witness. "On March 15th, 1917, I "advanced her $1,000. She gave me a note for it. I made her another advance on June lst, 1917 for $1,061.76. I got no security for this at the time. Later on I got a note for $1,000 and credit for $51.75." To Mr. Cohen, witness stated that he had known Mrs. Kelly for twenty- five years. He had advanced her money and knew some of her busi- ness transactions. It was not on the advice of the witness that Mrs. Kelly had started opérations in Toronto. Asked how Mrs. Kelly came to borrow after he had given her the advance of $1,000, witness said that Mrs. Kelly wanted to buy a lot on Princess street, and that he loaned her the money and got a note for it. Witness sald that $2,000 "of the money Mrs. Kelly secured was paid by her to the Canada Permanent Company of Toronto for the purchase of the Arlington hotel. Toronto, and that $500 had been placed by Mrs. Kelly in the Imperial Bank, in Toronto, to her own credit, The defendant, Mrs. Kelly, put in a counter claim for $15,000, the claim being made that Selby pre- venied the sale of the Arlington Hotel. Mrs. Kelly said she did not remember signing the notes. Justice Sutherland reserved his decision. TO BE TRYXED IN CANADA.

A ---------- A Probable Railréad Journey of the Futgre, "Take your seats, please, for the Jerusalem express." Those who live long enough to see the Channel tun- nel undoubtelly will hear this diree- tion to travelers proclaimed by the railway guards of the future on the platform at Charing Cross or what- ever may be the station that in ten years time will have taken the place of Charing Cross. And long before these things have come to pass travelers will have become familiar with the French equivalent for the railway guards in Paris, for it is hoped, even, before the end of this year, to run a direct service from France to the Holy Land with con- nections at London, Calais and Bou- logne. The first step toward this great event will be the re-establishment this summer of the Orient Express from Paris to Constantinople, Before the war, it was recalled by H. M, Snow,. agent-general for the Inter- national Sleeping Car Company, the Orient » Express ran from Paris through Strasburg, Munich, Vienna, Budapest and Sofia to Constantinople. "At Strasburg," he said, "we were h3 the enemy's country, and when the war broke out all our imniense rolling stock as well 3s thai @f other services was (seized. The notorious Balkan Jug, run by the Germans, was nothing more or less than our Orient Express. The Germans stripped the coaches df their bronze inscriptions and coast of arms and substituted the Lerman eagle. On the declaration of the armistice with Bulgarfa the Balkan Jug stopped running, 'The great difference when the service is resumed will be that this time it will not touch Germian ters ritory. From Patis either the Mont Cenis or the Simplon route will be taken to Milan, thence through Ven- ice, Trieste, Agram, Nish and Sofia to Constantinople, with a section running from Nish to Uskub, Salo- nica and Carissa to Athens. 'At first the trains will run com- paratively slowly. Before the war it took approximately 74 hours to get from London to Constantinople. When the conditions brecme normal again 1 do not think" "BE tine by the new. route will be quite so long. From Nish to Salonica and Athens, which geographically is about the same distance as that from Nish to Constantinople, the Journey should be-about 24 hours. "The re-establihment of the Orient Express has been on the tapis for some time, and I hope by the time peace is signed the arrange- ments 80 far as the service to Con- stantinople and Athens are concerned will be practically complete. At the outset the express will run two or three times a week In each direc- tion. . "1 have no doubt we shall after- ward extend the service to Bagdad and Jerusalem, and there is no rea- son why we should not link up with our existing Egyptian services. For the Jerusalem service the Bosphorus would have to be erossed by steam- er, and the express would run from Halda Pasha station, on the Asiatic side, through Aleppo and Damascus, and eventually go on from Jerusalem to Kantara, the Suez Canal Cairo. "In addition to the Orient Express we had a large number of internal services, not only in Turkey, but also in Bulgaria and Roumania, and so on. They will be resumed. One sec- tion of the Orient Expreds was detached from the main service at Budapest, ran to Bucharest and Constanza, where the Roumanian Government steamers were taken to Constantinople. It afforded a piéas- ant alternative route, and that also will be re-established. "At the present moment," Mr. Snow added, '"we are running ser- "viees from Rome to Venice and Trieste, and from Paris to Mayence and, of course, from Paris to Brus- sels and to Lille." Britain's Lost Tonnage, Archibald Hurd's table of shipping losses makes possible interesting comparisdns. The total sinkings reach almost 13,250,000 tons gross, of which Great Britain's share is 9,060,000. Translated into dead- weight tonnage, the total loss would be roughly 21,500,000 tons) and Great Britain's share of it 'about 14,750,000 tons---this against a total merchant tonnage, when the war be- gan of 73,640,000 tons for the world. In. outright sinkings, Britain has lost about a fifth of the world's ton- nage, and more than eight times us much as Norway; more than 11 times ag much as France or Italy; 17 times as much as the United States, and almost 40 times as much as Holland. But in computing the net deficit, due to the war, it is usual to include an estimate of about 15,000,000 dead- weight tons that would have been built above all losses if the war had not occurred, and Britain's share of the world's shipbuilding varied in 1911-1918 between 58 and 68 per cent. It is easy to understand why Great Britain should be troubled, why Hurd and others should urge hur- ried 'rebuilding, and why a heavy bill to Germany should be talked of, Many Dr. Johnsons.
