ALLEN TO-DAY "The Better Ole" » | ALLEN "The Better Ol e" The Daily British Whig KINGSTON, ONTARIO. THURSDAY, AUG. 4, 1921.% LAST EDITION - OF REGATTA The Yachts Started Off With a Light Breeze Thursday | Morning. | The barometer stood at 30.01 at! the Kingston Yacht Club on Thurs- | day morning when the warning signal | was fired at ten o'clock, and it pre- | saged a bright day with light winds. { A laggard breeze sprang up in the early morning hours, but it was blow- | ing very lightly from the south-east | when the races were started. How- | ever, it picked up a little as the boats | went over tHe line and gave them a good spurt towards Simcoe Island. The representative of the Whig paid an early morning visit to tho Yacht club with the idea that the early bird always catches thc worm. However, the yachtsmen had not al- lowed the dance of the night before to interfere with the regular routine and there was considerable activity. The preparations for a race are not made in a few minutes, and the yachtsmen were not taking any chances. The crews were busy mak- ing preparations for the events and SECOND DAY | J. A.

During the night several addition- al yachts arrived at the club moor- ings, and early in the morning the mariners were at work. The Huskie of the Crescent Yacht club, Water- town, N. Y,, the Whirl, of the Royal Hamilton Yacht Club, and the Seneca of the Royal Canadian Yacht club, Toronto, put in and were welcomed by the officials of the regatta. The Huskie is a maroon-rigged mahogany sloop, owned by E, Lansing, and was visited by 'a number of yachtsmen during the morning. he marconi rigging has attracted considerable at- tention among local followers of the sport, as it is the first time that this class of boats has visited here. The Scrapper of Toronto, is the only other boat with the marconi rigging. The! distinguishing feature of the Huskie: is her main spar, which is bent con- siderably towards the stern of the craft. The special advantage of the marconi rigging over the 'ordinary sailing craft is that it is able to fill the tops of the sails to catch any wind that is blowing and the skipper is able to point better. According to experts, the rig has not proved "sure-fire" valueiin a heavy wind. It is an expensiye addition to the craft, and some of the old-time yachtsmen want to see it abandoned. Time alone will teil whether this will coma to pass. The Whirl is a white sloop, owned by J. Robinson, and gave the regatta officials cause for considerable anxie- ty when 'she failed to turn up in the Freeman cup long distance race from Hamilton. However, it was later learned that the sloop had put in at Olcott Beach during the storm that raged on Sunday night. The boat £ (Gontinged On Page 11) i.

Mr, Meighen, prime minister of Canada: "Mr. Meighen, the prime minister of Canada, who re- ceived the freedom of the city last week, was referred to by the Chamberlain as the young- est prime minister of the Bri- tish Empire---and he right have added 'the most unscruta- ble." It is not surprising that Mr. Meighen is referred to as ' the silent premier.' His style is severe and almost without color. Ybu are conscious of absolute sincerity and integrity. of deep purpose, of almost too heavy a realizatio:: of the gravity of human affairs, There are several quaint old . dere- monies in connection with the presentation of the ffeedom, but throughout the proceedings not a smile flickered over the set face. The premier's speech in reply was beautifully phras- ed and perfect in sentiment and expression. Mr. Meighen isfun- doubtedly a force to be reckon- ed with in imperial politics, a new figure of whom much will be -seen and, in spite of his silence, much will be heard." | | + * * + * * + | : + * * * + : * + -* + * * * 2 -<» pdr bbb PrP RDP SRP R IPRS RSS ESR IIIS eA Ped <* CPP FPPRPIPPPEERS THE BURIAL OF CARUSO CIC EVEN) AT NAPLES Famous Tenor Is Deeply Mourned in Italy--Tri=- butes by the Press.

SHORT SKIRTS OF LADIES | 10 GO OUT OF FASHION Stylish Skirts No More Than Six Inches From the Ground. Paris, Aug. 4.--Paris yesterday closed the period of revelation in fem- inine apparel and introduced the era of concealment, Parisian styles, lieved to be the final word in matter of clothes, provide that: Skirts shall be no more than six inches from the ground. Collars shall be high. Arms shall be covered. A bas le decollette: The lines shall be long, loose and) straight. These commandments, down by almost unanimous decision of France's celebrated modistes, were exemplified at the annual fall open- ing of exclusive establishments, There was one exception to the gen- eral rule. That was a gown with a tight corsage and panier skirt, in- tended tq be constructed in light col- ors,. the whole effect {0 be one of yeuth and innocence. Otherwise the shows indicated complete reversal of former times. Even colors were suppressed as pretty mannequins minced demurely across the stages before admiring matrons and hopeful men, Black, grey, tan, khaki and all shades of brown with only an oc- casional flash of color at collar or belt, were the prevailing colors. A few boisterous styles boasted of fur trimmings. For evening wear the extreme '"V" decolletté was dismissed for more conservative square-cut neck.' These are cut lower in the back than in the front. Evening wear, however, made up | for the lack of color in other gowns. | Emerald green and rose crepe de chine and velvet were favorites in that display.

LOOKS LIKE IRISH PEACE The Irish "Republican"Forces Have Virtually Been De- mobilized. London, Aug: 4.--The. Irish Re- publican army has virtually been de- mobilized, it was learned here to- day. k This was considered a further in- dication that peace terms between the Sinn Fein and the British gov- ernment have been practically ag- reed upon in secret, and that only a formal announcement remains to be made. It is expected that the Sinn Fein parliament will approve any terms satisfactory to President de Valera and other leaders. The 'British parliament was still "in the dark' as to the peace nego- tiations «today. The cabinet refused to divulge the terms of the Commons, even in secret session, Ireland still preserves sphinx-like silence on Great Britain's peace pro- posals, and it is likely it will contin- ue to do so for another week or more, Eamonn de Valera has consulted practically all of his colleagues of Dail Eireann, as well as many local leaders of the Sinn Fein and all that remains to be done is to lay the pro- posals before a full meeting of Dail Eireann. This, a report from Dublin said, probably will be done some time this week or early next. It has been definitely declared that there will be no partial meeting of the Dail, which means that 'before such a momentous gathering can take place the thirty-six members now imprisoned or interned. must be released. Release of these men, then will be the final signal that a 'crisis in the negotiations is approaching. | Woman Beats Back Tigers ° |.

Tas- chereau, Prémier of Quebec, stated that there was no present idea of having a general provincial election, and pointed out that, since the pre- sent Quebec house was elected in 1919, it has yet two years to run. He further intimated that it was not the present intention of the govern- ment to hold a session of the legisla- ture this fall.

Welland, Aug. 4. --The apples in Welland county will run only to hat the average, and the spring grains are only 40 per cent. of the norma! crop... So said R. J. Dryden, super- intendent of the Welland county ag- ricultural office. "On the whole the crops this year are very ordinary," said Mr. Dryden, "and so far as the spring grains are concerned, I feel safe in saying that the yield will be approximately 40 per cent. of the normal crop. As regards wheat, this crop is about 75 per cent. of the normal crop. This is due largely to the hot, dry weather at time of filling. The corn is about the likeliest-looking crop we have, and if favorable weather con- tinues from now on I would judge the crop to be 100 per cent. normal. "With regard to fruit, apples, on the whole, are approximately 50 per cent. of a crop; peaches 25 per cent.; plums, 20 per cent.; pears 70 per cent., and grapes 85 per cent. If dry weather continues, ' potatoes and roots will be a very light crop." DECLARES SEEDS OF WAR MRE IN THE PEACE PACT Viscount Bryce Discloses Shams Behind Principles the Leaders Proposed. Williamstown, Mass., Aug 4.--The seeds of future wars have been sown in Europe by the deliberations and findings of the Versailles conference, Viscount James Bryce told the insti- tute of politics at Williams college yesterday in his second lecture on "International Relations of the Old World States." Discussing the framing of treaties by the representatives of the victof- fous powers, he said: "Their work has received in Eur- ope nothing but censure. Comparing the treaties they framed with those which were made by the congress of Vienna in 1814-15, European critics Observe that the men of Vienna, Alex- ander and = Metternich, Talleyrand gnd Hardenberg and Castlereagh, may have had bad principles and 'em- ployed despotic methods and miscon- ceived the interests of their peoples but they at least knew. what they were doing and gave effect to their principles, -- Treaties May Lead to War: "Theft work bestowed upon Eur- ope a tolerable peace which lasted for more than 30 years but there is no one of the treaties of 1919-1920 which is not now already admitted to need amendment, while some are | seen to lead straight to future wars. '""One hears people say 'The sort of peace that these negotiators have given us is as bad as the war." The negotiators at Paris differ in their principles and ideas and some at least of them do not seem to have believed in the principles they professed." He added, however, that the' task before them was '"'one of unprece- dented difficulty. New states had to be created, territories redistributed, indemnities secured, and all on a scdle incomparatively greater than any interational congress ever before had attempted." Germany Stil] Germany. Taking up the position in which the European countries find them- selves as the to the peace treaty, Lord Bryce said: "Germany, which though reducéd in area is still Germany and calls herself the Reich (the realm). albeit now a republic instead of a monarchy--Germany fs still th< most populous of European countries after Russia, with highly educated and in- dustrious innabitants and great pro- ductive industries, Between hr auld France, the un cstral antagonisn, dating back to the days of lous XIV's aggressions. now is mora bhi- | tor than ever und seems likely £514; in Frarce as l'1g as the generqt.an lives which -iemembers the devas a- ticrs wrought in 1917 by the retiring German army, and In Germary as long as her government continues to pay immense sums of reparation tor the losses in the war by Franc: , Dark Cloud Over Rhine "This war has shown one ungre- cedented feature, painful 'n the pros- pect it opens.

A Qf Austria and Laly's aspirations in regard to Tyrol, tYe speaker said: "Italy had of course no historical title whatever to the purely Germanic region she sought to acquire. How- ever, the principle of nationality was, in this case, thrown overboard by the allied powers and 125,000 of German Tyrolesie, countrymen of the heroi: Andreas Hofer, who had led their forefathers in a gallant resistance when Napoleon turned them over fo Bavaria in 1805, were delivered up to Maly as if they had been so many Not to Permit Silesia to Be- come Germany's "Alsace- i .

It thority here that Great Britain is still standing pat on the results of the plebiscite and will demand the immediate transfer to Germany of the purely German districts and to Poland the purely Polish districts. Great Britain - insists that the troops already on the scene be trans- ferred to the debated 'territory but also insists that they are sufficient in their present numbers to cope with any duties that may befal] them, France will insist on the immediate despatch of reinforcements, but the British foreign office declares France must advance stronger reasons for so doing than have been put forward so far before Great Britain will as- sent, According to an aitache of the.

Jugo-Slavia also will be asked to attend and Italy hopes to re-intro-' duce the Albanian question, Replying to a query as to. just what would be the role of Colonel George Harvey, the United States ambassador to Great Britain, at the Supreme council meeting, the French embassy here says: "Mr. Halvey's role will be purely that of listener 'but if he should be asked questions he will reply. He may volunteer some statements." According to influential Franchmen in London, Premier Briand will ask the English representatives i! they do not believe it satisfactory and ad- visable to associate the Allied gov- ernments with the Hoover relief for Russia. Lloyd George will go to the Su- preme Council for the latter days of the conference.
