Al FRENGI-GANADIANS WHO = PLEADED THEIR CASE WITH MUCH GUSTO Their Excuses, However, Weren't Worth a Cent~----A Large Range of Reasons For Defaulting Presented. in a little over an hour on Friday morning County Magistrate J. W. Bradshaw disposed of eighteen cases of defaulters charged with desertion, an achieyemé ich would have ta- ken the military authorities two months to accomplish by process of court martial. The magistrate heard more French on Friday morning than if he had Spent a week-end fishing in Quebec, r all of the men but one could not speak a word of English. Sergt. Mar- quette, however, filled in as a con- necting link and helped to facilitate the proceedings. The prosecution was carried on by Major H. Graham Starr and Lieut. 8S. 8. Kirby and seventy-five minutes after the first man had appeared the eighteen men were safely lock- ed up. Seventeen of them = were shocked when they were informed that their fallure to report would cost them $250 and costs of $2.50 or three months in jail, and the wires and postal service will be overwork- ed for the next few days with letters from prisoners from the county jail writing for money to release them. The case agiinst James Seeley, who claimed he was sick, was not fully prepared and he was remanded for one week. Joseph Brisson, Label- le, Que, was speechless. throughout and didn't groan when he was asked to contribute $26(. Noe Cere, Grace- field, was cutting grain when his call came and he liked the work so much he couldn't tear himself away. Val- more Villeneuve, Riviere Joseph, Que,, couldn't remember anything about the call. Arthur Fournier, Ma- niwaki, Que., was four hundred miles from home when his orders came and his people didn't take the trouble to inform him he was wanted for ser- vice. The reason assigned by Ovila Labelle, Labelle, Que., for his fail- ure to report was simple--he just couldn't get away. Napoleon Lagar- de, Lac Ste. Marie, Que., was looking over Ottawa when his call came. Ad- rien Ceailotte, Labelle, Que., couldn't make up his mind to go. Israel Nan- tel, Labelle, Que., was out in the bush and nobody told him his order | to report had come. Napoleon David, | Labelle, Que., got an order to report and his fare to Ottawa, but he had a hunch what the letter Augus- his orders all right but he preferred to ignore them. Francois Nantel, La- belle, could give no reascn for his failure. Omer Bourgeois, Granby, Que., could not remember whether he received his orders or not. Henri Valiquette, Labelle, Que., reportéd by Jutter instead of in person and asked | BA for a delay--which he didn't get. Eugene David, Labelle, Que., said he was sick, and he was sicker 'When he told . the magistrate that he wasn't sure Nhaeuer hs folks would for- ward no mon fine. Amade emt Sraeshela, Que, produced a doctor's certificate and declared that when he revived the war was over----*"sg what was the use of reporting?" Gaspard La-| le, Tia Que. had asked for a World Pictare, which wil be shown with Barbara Castleton asthe star, and with a number of film favorites in the cast, among them being John Bowers, who appears as Miss Castle- ton's leading man, Muriel Ostriche, who has a big role in this production, and others. From start to finish this picture moves rapidly and entertain- ingly. You'll enjoy it.--Advt. At Griffin's. There are. few, if any, actors on the American stage whose popular- ity exceeds that of John Barrymore; who will be seen at Griffin's to-day, dnd on Saturday, in "The est of Homor." This photoplay is an ad- mirable pieturization of JE. Phillips Oppenheim's celebrated novel, "The Malefactor," and for the first time since he became a motion picture star, Mr. Barrymore has a strong dramatic role. That he is an unusu- ally gifted player fs amply evidenced, and that his portrayal of the convict in this production will vastly enhance his popularity, seems to be assured. The massive. interiors which vest the picture with a solidity seldom. ap- proached on the screen, were contri- buted solely for the photoplay at the Famous Players-Lasky studio in New York. Constance Binney, who played the leading role dn "Sporting Life," has a beautiful part in support of Mr, Barrymore in "The Test of Honor, - Don't miss it. --Advt, ' DIED AT PEMBROKE | Mrs. Dunlop Passed Away Early Thursday Morning.
