Montreal, Jan, 16.---The right of the use of the French language in Canada is native and natural, irres- pective of what narrow-minded ccclestiastics, soclal bigots, rampant patriots, and noisy politiclans may state, Sir Robert Falconer, principal of the University of Toronto, told the members of the Canadian Club at their luncheon here yesterday af- ternoon. Sir Robert, in the course of his adiess, on the "Fatal Facility of M.runderstanding," declared that thore could be no danger In the use ot the language. "The French people of Quebec," he sald, "gave up whatever slight sentiment of loyalty they had for the nch dynasty after the revolution, when the Republic of France treat- al their beloved church with disre- 4 #rect. Contented in their towns and villages, tha habitants may know pothing, or care nothing, of Wolfe and Montcalm, but the undying loy- ally which they have for the use of their native tongue no one can dis- puisess them of.

In answer to this Mrs. Stillman filed an affidavit giving an itemized statement of the amounts necessary for her maintenance and the support of the children, which total $123,- 380, TRIED TO.

URGES RE-ESTABLISHMENT 4 Resolution to Hon. Dr. Beland. At the executive meeting of the local Great War Veterans' Associa- tion on Monday evening, D. N. McDonell was appointed to fill the vacancy on the executive caused by the resignation of J, 8S. McDonell, who has left for Hamilton. A ome cussion also took place regarding the disposal of the surplus canteen funds of the C. E. F. The following re- solutiorr was drawn up, and wil! be forwarded to the Hon. H. S. Beland, minister of the department of Sold- fers' Civil Re-Establishment: "Whereas the destruction of the vetcraft workshops by fire on Jan. 3rd, 1923, has been the caus¢ of a large number of disabled returned soldiers of Kingston and district who are unable to compete in the cpen labor market, to be thrown out of employment, and that they will be dependent on the public or the gov- ernment, . '"We therefore strongly urge the necessity of re-establishing a vetcraft workshop in this city, so that these men will be given the opportunity of being in a measure self-supporting."

In reply to Ald. Anglin as to what kind of gelebration was proposgd. Mayor Angrove said that there would be pageants and xarious other things, but all would depend upon the amount of money the committee was able to raise. It would require more | than $20,000, and no doubt the gov- ernment and civie grants would be | augmented by private subscriptions. Ald. Peters thought that something | should be done to mark the 250th an- niversary of Kingston, but his opin- ion A¥¥é that the finance committee {shou have brought in a definite re- {commendation as it had to do with |tne city's finances, : r A Very Small Tax, Ald. -Laturney pointed out that al the council granted five thousand dol- lars the additional tax would only be 18 2-3 cents on every $500 of pro- perty assessment, Anything that could be done to advertise Kingston done. Ald. Driscoll opposed the grant. He claimed that when the taxes went up they stayed up. People were kick- ing about the taxes being too high. He for one was opposed to unneces- sarily much unemployment, and {f the coun- | cil had five thousand dollars to spare | it could be spent to better advantage than in an historical celebration. "It would be a thousand pities if | the 250th anniversary of Kingston should be allowed to go by default," said Ald. Boyd. "The commonsense of the council and the good name of the city being at stake should decide the question. Ald. Boyd claimed that a big celebration as proposed wouid 'unemployed, including carpenters, for there would be many floats to build, The celebration would be a most imposing thing. There would tbe thousands of dollars spent and a grant of five thousand from the city woyld be a splendid investment. The extra quarter mill of taxes would be | neither here nor there.

He himself was willing to contribute fifty dollars if the other members of council would do lke- wise.

Kent could not see that the city could get out of paying five thousand dollars. If the big event goes on as proposed, the city will be getting off cheaply at five thousand. Ald, Kelly thought it was a pretty fair investment and was willing to vote for the grant, AM. Richardson was of the opin- jon that the city would be getting orf easily if it had to put up only five thousand dollars for the celebra- tion. It was a good business proposi- tion and did not need any amount of discussion. Ald. Nash pointed out that most of the local public bodies had ex- pressed themselves in favor of the grant. Furthermore it had been ad- vertised all over Canada that King- ston was going to celebrate. There- fore the council must not fall down on the job.

DIVINITY OF CHRIST > DENED BY MINISTER Consecration of Churches Is Survival of Age of Witch- craft and Magic. |" New York, Jan. 16.--In a sermon | before his congregation in the Churen lot the Ascension, Fifth avenue and Tenth street, Sunday, Dr. Percy |Stickney Grant outspokenly detlared | increasing them. There was | ey utsp y {that few clergymen educated in the sciences accepted the(idea that Jesus | 'had the power of G that the con- |secration of churches was a survival | of 'the "age of, witchcraft, magic and taboo," and is opposed to the eman- cipation of the mind. The sacredness of marriage and his congregation, came not from the priests, "who have no power to make marriage more than. it is," but from its essential as something independent of their feeling, will and behavior." The education classes do not accept the possession of miraculous conse- cration because they do not aceept the powers of the priesthood, while | Ithe clergy, he said, largely was re- cruited from the unintellectual, 'who are credulous of the miraculous char- | acter of the ministry." | "Shall we consecrate churches?" | Dr. Grant asked. "Nol" "First, the idea is inherited from the age of witchcraft, magic and ta- boo. What we are after today Is mental emancipation. If our minds are fusing with such directions as those which call for the consecration mental power for devotion to the realities of today. i "Second, consecration limits the usefulness of the church to the com- munity. It is a great economic waste, According to reliable statistics the waste in the United States is $125, 600,000 a year. To hmit the useful- ness of the church is to add to this incalculable waste. "This sermon is not an attack upon anyone or anything. It is a straight- forward talk in the interest of econ- omy and social welfare, "There are 234,000 churches, syna- gogues, etc, in the United States. They represent three bilHon doilars in tax-exempt property. "In return for such a remission of taxes on three billion dollars 'worth of property the 234,000 churches are expected to be of ase much use as pos- sible to the community.

The guerilla warfare, with the | rebels taking the offensive, followed | the announcement by the Free State that four insurgents at Roscrea and | one at Carlow had been executed for | possession of arms, of the | New Land Purchase Plan. London, Jan. 16.--Now that the | Irish Free State has been granted | full autonomy, it has little place in | English thought, but Dublin reports | are almost desperate. They unite in saying that things must become {| worse before a permanent improve- | ment is possible. The Free State government has no public opinion to rely upon in | suppressing anarchistic destruction. Its sole agent is an army of 30,000 | officers and men which has the loos- | est kind of organization. There is only one experienced director, Gen- | eral Mulcahy. Wednesday new regulations come | into force far more drastic than any | British measures under the secre- taryship of Sir Hamar Greenwood. Another expected step is a new | scheme of land purchases to offset | the rebel tactics of burning big | houses in order to drive owners {| from their estates, which the ma- rauders then seize. The idea much canvassed is to establish the power of the govrnment to transfcrm all occupiers into owners and to redis- tribute the land so that a man who has, invaded 'another holding wil{ lose not ohly what le has seized but his chance of legitimate occupation, | Ths, it is stated, would change the { whole Irish situation. { Further, holders of purchased | holdings who do not pay their anna- | ities would be ejected. i | Turks Hank Five Christians.
