The situation has serv- ed to strengthen the.administration's determination not to deal with the government at Mescow until the status of Americans in Russia is re- medied, it was said today. The most recent informal notifica- tion to Russia that Americans must be released before any negotiations with the Soviet government is pos- sible is now understood to have been conv.yed by Dr. Fridtjof Nan- sen, directing operations «. the In- ternational Red Cross fror. Stock- holm. to the committee in cahrge of the dinner, for the honor conferred on him, in having asked him to intro- duce Sir Campbell Stuart. He then referred "in feeling terms to Sic Campbell Stuart's ancestors, also to : the family vault at St. Paul's church, * of which he is the rector. Reference was also made to the history being prepared by Prof. Young, of Trinity College, Totonto, which he said, should be of fascinating interest to every Kingstonian, as it carried one hack to the old names, O'Kill, Arch, Deacon and Stuart--to members of a family who had brought honor to the city, and who had made a con- tribution to the common weal. Canon FitzGerald referred to the fact Sir Campbell was a great-great grandson of the Rev. John Stuart, D.D.,, the first missionary of the church of England in this province, and the first incumbent of Kingston, He gave an interesting history of the Stuart family, mentioning the fact that Dean Starr's history of St. George's cathedral, in this city, and Prof, Young's history contained much about the Stuart family. The speaker sald that when fe took over the position of vicar of/ St. Paul's church here, in 1907, one of the problems that conronted him was the condition of St. Paul's cemetery --the resting place of some of the ancestors of Sir Campbell Stuart, and which the latter had to-day visited. This vault had been kept clean and neat as the result of voluntary work, and it was indeed a pleasure for his congregation to do this work. "In welcoming you here to-nighs:," sald Canon FitzGerald, to Sir Camp- bell, "I express the feelings of all in this room. Not so much as Sir Camp- bell Stuart do I welcome you, but as a Canadian of genius and ability." Canon FitzGerald also made fitting reference to the brilliant Service rendered by Sir Campbell Stuart as an officer during the war and paid tribute to his work as a journalist, The people of Kingston wished hit every success in the future. A Skilful Gunner, In his address, Dr. Jordan referred in a jocular way, to the press, stat- ing that some papers were referred to as being "yellow," others as '"'red," and still others as 'black and white." He said he had been a resident of Kingston for twenty-two years, and was proud of the fact. Referring to some earlier history of Kingston, he paid a warm tribute to the late Prin- cipal Grant, of Queen's University. Sir Archibald Macdonell spoke in a humorous vein. He remarked that the address of Sir Campbell Stuart was a splendid one, but pointed out that Sir Campbell had been altogeth- er too modest, in that he had not re- ferred to the service he himself had given in the war. The Germans had & gun that would send a charge sixty. = five miles, but the propaganda car.' ried on by the British was carried three times as far as that range, "And the most skilful gunner was Sir Campbell Stuart," added Sir Archibald, future of the world depends more on co-operation of the two great Eng- lish-speaking peoples than on any other one fact. It is the best and sur- est guarantee of the peace of the world, and never has the world had more need of it. S ceived a heartier reception than George Harvey at the banquet of the Pilgrims' Society in Victoria Hotel, London, last night. It was the largest dinner ever held by the Pilgrims, and limited only by the size of room available. There were more than six hundred guests, and as many appli- cants for tickets were refuséd. The Duke of Connaught, brother of King Edward, presided, and was as- sisted in receiving the guests by his understudy, the Duke of York, broth- er of the Prince of Wales. Harvey kept up the American re-! 'cord for temperance, drinking only Apollinaris. His declaration that Am- erica had no part or lot in the Lea- gue of Nations was loudly cheered. Lloyd George's speech was a plea for American co-operation in settling the present anarchy in Europe, and Harvey nodded his head vigor- ously throughout at thé teli®hg points of the premier's speech the most not- able sentence of which was an an- nouncement that Harvey would parti- cipate at the next meeting of the Sup- reme Council, which will be called in a few days to settle the Silesian ques- tion. Lloyd George, at the opening of his Speech, had a dlap at the French press, which has been attacking him. Referring to Harvey, as a trenchant and convincing writer, the premier said: "Recent experiences have shown us that men who write tren- chantly are not always convincing." The premier declared the predom- inant blood of the British Isles was not Anglo-Saxon, but Anglo-Celtic. "Therefore we never regard the citi- zens Of the Unitéd States of America BATA WARNS FRANCE THAT SHE WILL OBJECT . To French Occupation of Ruhr KI nin CE up with liquor while the poor man could not get any at all, was fla- grantly unjust. "I want to make the thing equal all round," he said. "They can have mine along with the rest." 3 at a dinner given in Grant hall on Thursday night by the Canadian, Ki- wanis, and Rotary Clubs, of King- ston, and the gathering, which was attended by twd hundred representa- tive citizens, was a memorable one It was most fitting that Sir Camp- bell Stuart should deliver his first address on the occasion of his visit to Canada, in Kingston--the home of some of his ancestors, and he was tendered an enthusiastic reception. He delivered a brilliant address deal- ing with many interesting problem's of the day, speaking particularly of conditions in'the old land, the press, the propaganda campaign carried on during the war, and many questions of world-wide interest. And in having a visit from Sir Campbell Stuart, Kingston is indsed greatly honored. The distinguished guest stated that he was very glad General Hospital.

Galway, May 20.--Sixty armed men ambushed the district inspector of constabulary and twenty police- men under him at Westport this morning. One constable was killed and one wounded, and four of the ambushing party were killed and six wounded. The police attacked the ambushers' entrenched position and carried it.

It is es- sential to find some means of drag- ging the countries of Europe out of this pyran of hatred, therefore, we welcome the influence of a new power, vigorous, strong, and even- handed, untrammelled, without brain beclouded by these old feuds. "We don't want to drag the United States into these quarrels. That would only aggravate and make things worse. We want America's help, but not to help'us in." (Loud Applause), All through Lloyd George's speech it was evident he was making a bid for United States support of the Bri- tish view of the pacification of Eu- rope, against the French policy of re- venge. It was notable that the Dukes of Connaught and York applauded all the references to Anglo-American co-operation and that the whole andi- ence was in sympathy with the same idea.

Premier Meighen's Denial Premier Meighen made an unqual- ifieq denial of the newspaper de- spatch reporting Hon, Peter Veniot, minister of public works in New Brunswick, as asserting that he had been invited to enter th€ Dominion {cabinet by a prominént Conservative {who had in his possession letters from the prime minister and another member of the Dominion govern- ment. Mr. Meighen denied the au- thorship of the letter referred to, de- claring: "All I need to say is that no such proposition was made by me or by any one on my behalf; directly, indirectly, definitely gipdefinitely, or otherwise. No such letter as Mr. Veniot refers to was cver written." | What would be tHe mext step in the . matter the premier did not profess Paris, May 20.--X-rays : pass to know. through brick walls and have injured persons in buildings adjoining labor- atories, members of the Academy of Sciences have just been told by Prof, Contremoulin;, a radiograph expert.

Dar- ing the evening, sevéral songs were rendered by members of the various clubs, under the leadership of Harold Hughes, with Frederick Treneer pre- siding at the piano, and everything was carried out. in a most enjoyable manner. Ex-Mayor J. M. Hughes, president of the Kingston Canadian Club, ably presided. Canon 'W. F.

E. K. Spinney. The amendment, it is said, would widen the scope of the section of the statute of 1918 which permits the government on the recommendu- tion of the Civil Service Commission, where application of the provisions of the act to any class of employees is impracticable, to withdraw that class from the operation of the act. The new section, it is understood wi'l authorize the commission to recom- mend to the government to exempt from the operation of the act, either because such exemption is in the pub- lic interest or because application of the act is impracticable, any grade or elass of employees or any profes- sion. The proposed amendment is along the lines of the testimony giv- en by Hon. Dr. Roche, chair man, and William Foran, secretary, of the Civil Service Commission, be- fore the special committee a few days ago. Both admitted that appoint- ments of certain classes of 'employes ~--=a longer list than was covered by the Spinney bill--should be with- drawn from their jurisdiction. They said that they were now approaching the time when they would be called upon to take up the subject of exemp- tions. 3 They agreed that certain appoint. ments, such as appointments of rural Postmasters, manual laborers, minis- ters' secretaries and private stenog- PEPPER CLP EPR E Ee * % STRIKE NOW CAUSES * > SHORTAGE OF BEER + > + # .

Washington, May 20.--The Brit- ish navy intends to retain its pbsi- tion as thé world's most powerful naval force under the new naval es- -timates. Four battleships of the largest di- mensions are to be built in the pri- vate yards of the Vipkers, Armstrong, and Fairfield shipbuilding compa- nies, and the Royal Naval dockyard at Portsmouth, according to infor- mation secured from an official While nothing is definflely known it is confidently expected Im official quarters that they will exceed the battle cruiser "Hood" in size. In the matter of speed it is certain that they will be built to make twenty-two knots or better, as all nations are building battleships of this speed. It is regarded as possible that the new British ships will carry from six to eight inch guns, although older as to the features of the battleships . officers declare that ten fifteen-is : guns of .45 calibre are preferable to the eighteen-inch guns ! The British already pos<ess. te: first-class battleships. When the new ships are completed the total will be fourteen. E . At presen: there is not a first- class battleship in the United States navy. Japan is the only other tion to have such ships in commis sion and is to lay down still f 1 vessels as soon as those now buil 4 are launched and the slips are avail- able for fresh keels. 4 ~The cost of building the ships pro- vided in the new estimates will be around $200,000,000, this sum b ing in addition to the expense maintaining the largest navy in the ; world. + The United States is not | expected to spemd more than twice this for construction and upkeep.,in this, it is said, the British apprecia- tion of ses power is quite apparent.
