Coming--Frontenac Member Lik- ens Col. Currie to the Kaiser, (Canadian Press Despatch) tawa, Nov. 6.--In the Commons {at this morning's session, resuming| the debate on the report of the spe- cial committee on the bill regarding soldiers' civil re-establishment, Dr. {J. W. Edwards, Frontenac, devoted a large part of his opening remarks to} {the member for North Simcoe, Col. | {John A. Currie, who was not in the' {House. Dr. Edwards declared that | | while the members of the committee] {Were sufficiently modest to admit that | {they had their limitations and the| report was not perfect, the member | { for North Simcoe admitted no limita-| {tions, The kaiser had been wont to {prate of the partnership of "Me and | Gott," but the member for North {Simcoe had all the kaiser's assur- {ance and bumptiousness, but none of | {his esty. i "It was not God and Currie," but] | Currie alone. He was associated with | A man named Flynn. Col. Currie with having made unwar- | other good subjects make up the bal- ance of our programme, which is sure to please all who see it.--Advyt. " At the Strand. A pet kitten afflicted with fits, in- | structions in toughening the shimmie | dante, @ method for establishing amicable relations between Ireland and Jerusalem, how to catch crooks { With a milk bottle, how to shock a butler with a powder puff--these are a few of the comical situations in | "The Hoodlum," Mary Pickford's se- cond production from her own stud- fos which will be seen to-day at the Strand Theatre. As Amv Burke, Miss Pickford has an unusual role. She 1s first seen as a spoiled graud- daughter of tne very wealthy Alex- | ander Guthrie. Silk pajamas, several | fancy-built roadsters, a private tutor | with shell-rim glasses are a few of her possessions. Then, in order to | live with her father who is determin- | ed to write a book on sociology, and | incidentally to live among the poor, | Amy pertly informs her granddad | that thers is no chance for her to | visit Europe with him; she is golng | to live with her father. Life for Amy in the tenements seems one long siege of degradations. While ter grandfather is suposedly visiting the crowned heads of Europe, Amy is watching the crowned cans of beer i being distributed in Creighton street. | Among those whom Amy meets ip | the tenements are Dish Lowry, a Ift- boiled eggs; William Turner, == == -- = == = -- -- = qe == -- -- -- = _-- == = = == rt -- = -- -- -- -- = -- -- T---- = -- ---- = ey == == m= == == on a = == T-- -- as = He charged | tle chap with an appetite for hard- (== al== {ranted and slanderous statements re-| Struggling artist with a past not us |= | garding members of the House and! ithén ran away when he | medicine was coming.

But not more than a few | seats depended on that vote, really. I~ Another assertion of Col Currie. said Dr. Edwards, was that returned | soldiers, on their appearance in Ot- | tawa to make requests had been jeer- | ed and sneered at. That was untrue, | he declared. Returned men had been | met sympathetically at all times. Dr. | Edwards declared that irrespective { of the financial condition of the coun- try, he was not in favor of meeting the demands of the returned men, | who sought further general gratui- | ty. He would not support that if the | country was without a cent of debt. Yesterday the Colonel and the Frontenac member got into a rough- and-tumble fight over the latter's war record. "I saw my only son to the front, and he stayed there till the finish," | exclaimed Dr. Edwards, the sting in the tail of the sentence being a refer- ence to Col. Currie's return from Flanders in 1915. "Members of your profession were urgently needed on the fighting line. Why didn't you go yourself?" shot back the Colonel. "I offered my 8 ces and they were declined," expldined the doctor amid great ap- plause. "That's all right, snapped the Colonel. The Speaker intervened at this stage and requested the Simcoe member to stick to the point under discussion. "You will agree with me, Mr. Speaker, that I dia not interrupt anyone," said the Colonel. "I'll attend to you," interjected Dr. Edwards, in angry tones. ------------ Theatrical At The Grand.
