largely responsible for the details there- of, both have registered their disappoint- ment at the latest turn of events. I will be impossible to try to summarize public opinion. New York, Nov. 21st.—The Prince of Wales laida wreath on the grave of Mr. Theodore Roosevelt today and later pre- sided over a function which would have "had a particular appeal to the former President. ‘For one entire afternoon, the young British heir was host to 1,000 school children on board the great bat- tle cruiser Renown. At the Prince’s own request the children w_re left free t> wander at will over the great war- ship, and no restrictions of any kind were placed upon them except where their safety was concerned. Paris, Nov. 22nd.—Commenting upon the failure of the American Senate to ratity the peace treaty ‘‘L’Humanite’’ says: ‘Peace without America means continuation of a state of war. The American and Anglo-French alliances crumble without a crash, and an Ameri- can-Jlapanese conflict appears inits full light. A league of nations without Ameri- ca simply means reverting to pre-war alliances’’. Cairo, Egypt. Nov. 21st.—The Sultan as yet has made no reply to the Premier regarding the resignation of the cabinet. Advices from London on November 19th said the Egyptian Ministry resigned be- cause of dissatisfaction with the mission appointed by Lord Milner. the British Secretary of State tor the Colonies, to in- vestigate the unrest in Egypt. London, Nov 22nd.—THRe ‘‘DailyMail’’ ir an editorial on a Hindenburg demon- stration in 3erlin says, '‘Had the treaty been ratified two months ago, all these officers who are now creating turmoil in Berlin and plorting the return of the all- highest, w_uld have been in the hands of the Allies undergoing trial as mere crimi- nals, we betray no secrets when we say that both Hindenburg and Ludendorff are wanted, not only for their cruel devasta- tion of Frauce, but also for their part in carrying through the submarine cam- paign with its ruthless atrocities’’. Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 22nd.--Har- vard under graduates, back from the war, today scorec in the sports of peace-time a football vietory over Yale, their an- cient rivals. Playing before 500,000 spectators in the Stadium which was crowded as never before, the Crimson Eleven triumphed 10 to 3. The game, marked by several striking plays, was the climax of the first football season at Harvaid under the new coaching regime ot Robert Fisher. It was the first time in twenty years {that a Yale team had ‘gone down to defea* in its two big games with Princeion and Harvard. New York, Nov. [22nd. —The Prince of Wales attended the. Pilgrims’ dinner wearing the uniform of a captain in the navy. His appearance occasioned tu- multaous applause. After the excite- ST kb AV 1S ment had subsided the Right Re+. Charles Summer Bureh, Protestant KEpiscopal Bishop of New York, said grace. Mr. Chauncey Depew, President of the Pil- grims’ Society was toastmaster. Re- plying to the toast the Prince referred tc the part played by the Americans in the great war. ‘‘There is only one thing which I would like to rerer to tonight’’, he continued, ‘‘not only because it has impressed me with new torce during my | travels on this continent, but also be- | cause it is an actual and visible example of the object and aims which the Pi- grims’ Society was formed to promote. | do not think anywhere else in tl.e world except on the North American continent will you find a frontier between ‘wo na- tions three thousand miles long with no extensive physical barriers, no military defences, nc other division lines than a boundary determined ky mutual con- fidence #nd goodwill. Asa Britisher and as a Canadian 1 take high pride in that boundary, the international frontier between Canada and the United States, for it seems to me to illustrate in a.very striking and practical way the objects for which Americans and Britishers fought in the great war. Just think of it. The ideal which appears so difficult of attainment eisewhere has been a. actual and positive reality in North Amo2arica for over a hundred years, 1 l§ve been asked my.elf how that id€al has been attained here somuchin advance of intern :tional condi- tions in other parts of the world andI think the answer is quite cle r. 1t has been attained because you on your side of the international boundary and we Britishers on our side have under some- what different forms the same political faith, the same human aims and the -same practical ideas. These two self- governing peoples; living side by side, each confident of the goodwill of the other, have given this splendid example to the world.”” The Prince was present- with a silver loving cup containing a bouguet of roses. it bore a suilable inscription attesting to the fact chat he had been elected an honourary member of the Pilgrims of the United States. _ Cairo, Nov. 22nd.—The Local Commit- tee of tue KEgyptian Nationlists has is- | sued a statement to the native press | quoting the recent British statement of policy. Commenting on the statement, | the Committee says the publication of this statement of the policy has pro- | voked public astonshment, because it is | contrary to the principles of right and | justice, and to the London Convention of | 1840 which guarantees the independence of Egypt, which was conquered by | Egyptians at the cost of their blood. | NEW YORK, Nov. 26th 1919. j Flour, Blended Clear St. Lawrence Lirand | » pr. brl. $11.50 Meal, Kilndried per 100 ibs $3.80 !
