NO INTENTION BRITISH NAVY TO LEAGUE Statement of British Home Secretary Who says the British Government Does Not Want the League Council Made a Council of War. Geneva, Sept. 23.--The clear and precise statement of Arthur Hender- son, British home secretary, as to the attitude of the British delegation on the question of the use cf the British fleet in enforcing sanctions against aggressive nations, it is believed will dispel any misgivings that may have been ascertained in connection with the matter in the earlier stages of the discussion by the committee on disarmament. One further point in connection with Mr. Henderson's important de- @laration is regarded as deserving special mention. This was with refer- ence to the part which the Council of the League of Nations might be call- ed upon to play 4n connection with the sanctions. Mr. Henderson de- clared that the British government had no idea of placing British troops or ships at the disposal of the coun- cil to use as it thought fit, nor ever had 'sich an idea and there was no inténtion whatever on the part of the government of converting the league éountil into a council of war and imposing on it the burden of conducting military campaigns or naval operations In the course of the address Mr. Henderson emphasized Great Bri- tain's readiness to come forward with the sanctions provided by the covenant. He declared that the last great war made it perfectly clear that the loss of communications and the loss of raw materials and food- stuffs by any attacked power consti- tute a terrifc blow to the power, and argued that any British economic blockade carried out at the Yequest | of the League and in the interest of | | general peace would be a powerful | sanction, QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY R STUDENTS BUSILY ENGAGED IN REGISTERING A Number of Appointments M ade To The Teaching Staffe-- Medical College Does Not Several appointments have been made to the arts staff at Queen's University, which opens its fall ses- sion 'on Wednesday.

AMERICAN OUTLOOK VERY RESTRICTED Great Lack of Individualism Among People, Says Sir M. Muspratt. Ottawa, Sept. 23.--Sir Max Mus- pratt, Bart.,, who has just complet- ed a tour of the United States after having attended the recent sessions of the British Association of the Advancement of Science in this country, arrived in the capital yes- terday afternoon, accompanied by Lady Muspratt. Bir Max was immediately im- pressed with the utilization and de- velopment of hydro electric power on this continent during a visit to Niagara, he said, in reviewing his tour. Several new ideas for the de- velopment of power in England were also received by him when he visit- ed the Ford works at Detroit, Mich. Reflecting on some of the aspects of American life as seen. by him during his United States trip, Sir Max said: "Americans dppear to me great wasters of time, invariably late and slow in doing everything. Our as the American method. I was not at all impressed with the so-called American hustle, ! "Apart from their own particular specialization, such as their business, profession, or other activities, they show a great lack of Individualism. Their outlook is narrow and re- stricted on all general questions." Sir Max is quite satisfied that "Great Britain is going to keep ahead In the world markets. I have no fear: of - displacement in neutral markets, at any rate, as the United Btatés is organized at present, both industrially and politically," he said. He added that in his own opinion American politics are growing too mechanical. "They have got to de- velop a really educated public opin- fon in politics," he declared.

Much on Dress. » London, Sept. 23.--Bond street tailors have a new complaint, They &re up-in-arms because the extrava- gance of English women in the mat- ter of dress leaves no money for the men folks of the household to spend upon thelr own raiment. Putting forward the theory that it is more necessary for a man to be well dressed than a woman, because clothes with a man are a business as86t, one enraged Bond streei tailor {declared that "everywhere one sees badly dressed husbands accon.panied by extravagantly dressed wives while shabby business men dictate letters to stenographers wearing the latest thing from Paris." "It is time," he continued, *'that men rebelled. As things ar, women spend at least three times more than men.

Archbishop Matheson is presiding at the Sessions of the House of Bishops, which opened a two-day conference as a forerunner to the annual session of the General Synod of Canada opening at Cronyn Hall Wednesday. Archbishop Matheson, in referring to the question of prohibition in the west, pointed out that at the present time some difficulty was being ex- perienced in enforcing the liquor re- strictions In connection with hotels. "The Government is experiencing difficulty with hotel keepers at the present time, who are inclined to exceed the restrictions of control," he said, "but I would say that the system of Government control in general has worked out very satis: factorily in the province of Mani- toba." Referring to general conditions in the west, the archbishop stated that he believed general conditions were showing a marked improvement. "I believe we have passed the corner of depression," he declared. "There is a distinct feeling of optim- fsm in the west now.
