Now it is stated that the Gov- ernment has abandoned this posi- tion, and has taken the view that length of time away from the Uni- ted States has nothing to do with the granting of the exemption, which must depend on the "bona fides" of the tomurist. The change in attitude is expected to be hailed with great satisfaction by merchants on this side of the line, and by hotel officials who are pleased to see an end put to a matter which caused their patrons some annoy- ance. wn $4000 02023000c00s +e A LIBEL ACTION?

Bruce Walker, European Director of Canadian Immigration, regarding the consideration shown by husbands to wives in this over- seas dominion must have a strong and direct appeal, says The Globe editorially, In no place, Mr. Wal- ker told his audience, was the wo- man so highly thought of, so well treated and so adequately legislated for as in the Dominion of Canada. Mr. Walker sald, "the women Canada have drilled and educated the men of Canada into the best husbands in the world." This is a charming picture indeed, and one that might even influence Miss Agnes Macphail to moderate somewhat her call for more women in the public life of the Dominion. Mr. Walker may have spoken with a view to encouraging desirable mi- gration to the Dominion, but his statements are so Tully borne out by the facts that he rertainly cannot be accused of efaggeration. ------ Northumberland Candidate.

A ---------- MISS EDERLE She Is the First Woman to Ac. complish Wonderful Feat. STRONG AT THE FINISH Latter Part of Swim Made Up- der Heavy Seas and Rain at Finish. Kingsdown, England, Aug. 7.-- Gertrude Bderle yesterday conquer. ed the English Channel. The 19- year-old New York girl, swimming the grim waters in 14 hours and 31 minutes, thus became the first of her sex to accomplish the feat which had been performed by only five men before her. She left Cape Gris- Nez at 7.09 o'clock yesterday morn- ing and landed at Dover at 9.40 o'- clock last night. Besides being the first woman to swim the Channel, Miss Ederle set a new record for the feat, the best previous time being made by Sebas- tian Tirabocehi, of Italy, who swam from Calais to Dover on August 11th and '12th, 1923, in 16 hours and 23 minutes. Miss Ederle walked triumphantly up the beach between the little vil- lage of Kingsdown and Walmer Castle, Deal, quite strong and fresh. The last few hundred yards of the swim were watched from the shore by thousands of visitors from all parts of the country sojourning at the seaside resort of Deal, who col- lected all available material to build a bonfire on the beach to guide the plucky girl as she neared her goal. Thus she finished the feat ina blaze lighting the coast for miles, as the accompanying tugs burned flares and displayed searchlights. The swimmer refused all offers of help in landing. Waving all aside, she walked out of the surf unaided, amid tremendous outbursts of cheer- ing, which completely drowned the tugboats" sirens. She was so fresh she even wanted to plunge back into the sep again to swim back to the boat lying some two hundred yards out. But this was not allowed, and she was rowed back to the boat, and helped aboard for the Telurn trip to Cape Gris-Nez. The latter part of the swim was accomplished in bad conditions, a stiff breeze churning up heavy seas, and there was a slight rain. The scene as Miss Bderle finished the last few hundred yards was in- tensely thrilling. The blaze of light enabled the crowd which had gath- ered to watch the swimmer's strokes. and the enthusiasm among the wo- men spectators over this triumph of one of their sex knew no bounds. Gertrude Ederle started at 7.09 o'clock © yesterday morning. The weather conditions when she took her plunge were fine, At 8.52 am. Miss Bderle was swimming fast and making good progress a little to the north of a straight line across the Channel from Cape Gris Nez. The Sea was smooth and the weather fairly warm with the temperature at 61.7 degrees fahrenheit. At ten o'clock Miss Ederle was four miles north by west of Cape Gris Nez and stil making good pro- gress, although the wind at hour had freshened, creating a slight sea way. 3 At 11.30 am., or tour hours 21 minutes after the start, Miss Ederle was six and a half miles out. The weather remained favorable.
