Dr. Boon of Peckham Christian Union the Preacher, London, Sept. 8. -- The first to "broad- cast" a sermon is Rev. Dr. J. Boon, president of the Peckham Christian Union. His congregation in Christ church, McDermot Road, Peckham; on a recent Sunday evening, heard an address given by Dr. Boon a' Blackheath, and it is sald that it was almost as clear and distinct as if he had been among them when he delivered it. Christ church is a small building, and the receiving instrument--with a "loud speaker' attached--was fix- ed on a table in front of the altar rails. The two operators who were in charge of the instrument declared the demonstration a success. A! short notice they had fixed up an aerial on the roof of the chureh, the aerial] being constructed of two clothes props, one twelve feet long and the other six feet. Dr. Boon, who returned by motor car from Blackheath to Peckham :» finish the Sunday evening service, was delighted with the success of his experiment.

GREEK ARMY HAS YIELDED The Railway Lines to The Danger of Pestilence Is Admitted To Be Very Great. London, Sept. 8.--The Southern Greek army in Asta Minor surrend- ered when surrounded by the Turk- ish Nationalist forces. Unending throngs of distracted and destitue Greek and Armenian refugees, flesing from the war area in Anatolia, are besieging the gates of Smyrna, clamoring for allied as- sistance, according to the latest re- ports reaching London. The four railroad lines terminat- ing in Smyrna are choked with LGreek troops and the remnant of the Greek war supplies. All the high- ways are black with evicted families who are struggling to carry enough covering and food to last until they reach the Mediterranean. The local authorities are poor. ly equipped to deal with the situz- tion, being forced to give virtually all their time to the reorganization of the dismembered Greek army. Problem of Magnitude.

Published Editorial Offensive to Wirth Government, Manchester," Sept. 8.--An impor:- ant political crisis has been develop- ing amid the latest financial panic, says tifa Berlin correspondent of the Guardian. The economic situation is being exploited by all parties The initiative is in the hands of the peo- ple's. party, and of 'big industry," led by Herr Hugo Stinnes. His news- paper, the Deutsche Allgemeine Zel- tung, has been suspended for a week under the law for the defence of the republic, because it published ah edi- torial full of insulting mis-state- ments about Chancellor Wirth and his government. But Herr Stinnes bought the conservative Taegliohe Kundsobau, which has become the sister sheet of the Deutsche Allge- meine Zeitung, and; appearing with a make-up almost identical with that of its temporarily defunct relative, continues its attack on the govern- ment as though potling had hap- pened. It proclaims that where the politi- clans failed, businessmen succecded, and points triumphantly to the agree- ment concluded between Herr Stinnes and a French firm for the restoration of the devastated area of France, lis familar cry for a "Business govern- ment" is now sounding through Ger- many, 1 understand that the present newspaper campaign is being con- ducted under the guidance of Stinnes himeeH, who appears to be trying 'o get men of his choice in the cabinet 1t 1s said he seeks to control the of- fice of foreign minister, which Dr. Wirth fills now, as well as the chan- cellorship.

Ottawa, Sept. 8.--The govera- ment members are of course pre- serving a discreet .neutrality, but they are not exactly emitting shouts of enthusiasm about the majority report presented by Mesars. Alexands er Smith and Isaac Pitblado on the wage controversy between the rail. ways and their shopmen. Their ver. dict practically conceded . the ful} case of the railways for drastic wage = reductions and the shopmén regard any concessions to' their side dis played In it as wholly illusory, and are almost to a man disinclined {0 accept it. What is regarded as one of the most unforfunate features of the ma« jority report was its virtual appro- bation of the principle that Canad- fan labor conditions and wage rates must largely be governed by condi. tions and rates in the United States. This would constitute a direct invit- ation to Canadian railway shopmen to follow the example of their Ameri can brethern and go on strike at once. As long as Canadian roads can maintain a full service, tha chances of success for the American strikers are less, but when the suc cess of the American strikers las comes a very vital interest' of Canadian shopmen, their obwiey courgesis to help it forward by 1 pairing the efficiéncy of the Canade fan roads. What the government now fears is that the doctrine which, though not definitely laid down, is for prac- tical purposes adopted in the major ity report that American and Caon- adian shopmen must stand or fall together may be acted upon.
