Though he wil} visit Washington, and almost certainly let his views on dis- armament be known, he will not at- tend the disarmament conference, except as an honored guest at Wash- ington for the occasion. On October 29th one week after the marshal sails, Mr. Briand, with the 'delegates to the disarmament conference, wil] leave Havre for New York on board the steamship Lafay- ette. This ship is the premier's third choice, it having been first communi- cated that he would travel on a bat- tleship, and secondly on the liner Savoie.

This is a question which France {and Italy also would like to see taken jup by the conference, but the United States has no intention of letting this become a problem to be settled by the conference. Great Britain, it is believed, how- ever, is determined not to allow her present naval supremacy to be wiped out. "Place in Sun." Japan: This empire does not in- tend to have her 'place in the sun" in the far eas! dimmed by the. con- ference, and will be wary of any ac tion which would take away her present advantage of naval position among the powers or her favorable opportunity of wiping out the present naval superiority of the United States and Great Britain. Japan, it is expected, however, will make con- | cessions, for she wants to allay sus- | picion in the world of her aims. | France: Wants to trade her agree- ment to a limitation of land arma- |ment, for some guarantee! by the | powers of her security against an- | other attack by Germany. Italy: Italy de in close harmony with the international policies of the United States.

Ottawa, Oct. 5.--Dealing wholly with the tariff issue, and urging up- on the men and women of Canada i the necessity of supporting the pro- | tective tariff of his party, the elec- tion manifesto of Right Hon. Arthur Meighen was issued here late yester- day afternoon following the official announcement of the dissolution of parliament. The dissolution an- nouncement was made at 5.40 at the conclusion of a lengthy meeting of the Cabinet. There are no longer in Canada any federal members of parliament. There are only ex-members, The prime minister's manifesto opens no new ground. It says the war is no longer an issue. It declares for the maintenance of the British | Empire as a league of autonomous | nations, and it may be inferred from bis statement in this connection that "there are common burdens that all must share" that he means the. defense of the empire with all | which that entails in upkeep of navy {and land forces. Practically all the | rest of the manifesto is devoted to a | laudation of protection and attacks on the Liberal and Progressive parties for their attitudes to it. He ends with an appeal to women elect- ors. ?

When the vessel arrived at Quebec, the captain pre- | sented him with a one-pound note for services rendered. While at sea, a {man who was accompanying his two daughters to Canada, took sick anid passed away. The captain suggested that the body be thrown overboard immediately, but on consulting his [mate, it was decided to hold the | burial service the following day. As there was no clergyman aboard the ship, the mate acted in that capacity. Mr. Smith is indeed a remarkable man, which is shown in the fact that he 'has very few grey hairs. He eats heartily, sleepe well, and if it were not for the fact 'hat he feels a little weak at times, he says he otherwisa feels just as well as he did when he was seventy-five. During the day- time, Mr. Smith is in the habit of 1y ing down and taking a nap. His hear- ing is exceptionally good, but his eye- sight has failed greatly.

There were three children by this marriage. He married for the second time, and his Wife died four years ago, leaving eix children. One of the remarks Mr. Smith made during the interview was: "Do {you know, the Whig is the best fam- {ily paper that has ever entered my {home? We have been reading it for between sixty and seventy years, and intend to do so until we did." Many changes have taken place {in the Escott section since Mr. Smith | went to live there.
