A CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE CENTURY BRASS BAND. Members of our community (Town and Country district). The Century Brass Band has been offer- ed a new Baritone Saxophone for $190; this instrument is a beautiful one and will®certainly meke a splendid addition to the Band in every respect. To pur- chase such an instrument under ary other conditions will cost certainly abnut $2.50. and the Band therefore being conscious of this fact would like to em- brace this exceptional offer. As explained some time ago, the Band’s monthly subsidy can just manage to meet the Bank installments of the instruments on hand and to pay the necessary expenses to th: upkeep of the Band; such as rent, reeds for instru- nents, music and so on; therefore to mbrace this offer outlined above the 3and’s only source of appeal is the people ':f our community: and this is the man- ner in which we are approaching you. From Sunday May 21st, the Band will be making tours in nearly all sown and ccuntry districts collecting donations - this Baritone saxophone; and if th2 peo- la comply with the request the Band .4l be glad to add this instrument men- tioned to the advantage of all concerned. For the Century Brass Band. ERNEST E. WILLIAMS, Business Manager. HERMAN H. SARAUW, Muslcal Director. N.B. Schedule and programs of these tours will be seen throu the columns of this paper at a later date. TELEGRAMS. ST. CROIX STATION. Genoa, May 10th. Monsignor Pizzardo Deputy secretary of state for the Vatican, explained to the Associated Press this evening that the suppositions, circulating in conference circles, that the Holy See was ready to abandon its claim for the restitution of church property in Russia, was incorrect. l.ondon, May 11th.—A despatch to the ‘““Evening Standard’”’ from Genoa says that if the Frznch and Belgians leave the conference, Mr. Lloyd George will re- main and try and work the ship to port with a short-handed ercw. London, May 11th.—Sir Robert Horne.‘ speaking at the annual dinner at the bankers-association last night, . said he was glad to think that at the end of this, his first year as head of the treasury, he found himself in a position which was incomparably better in many respects than that to which he had suc:zeeded. He was then confronted with very great financial difficulties but these had been mitigated -and he was assured also that bankers tonrd themselves in a very much easier pusiiion than that with which they were confronted =2 comparatively short tirme ago. "All apprehension con- cerning the decadence of the city of London had entirely disappeared, contin- ued Sir Robert, and if it had not been for the sirike in the engineering ‘indnstry, he would have said that the country was due for a distinet business revival this year. FKrom all the symptoms in trades in the United Kingdom he believed there was still a good prosr-et for a revival of business, although not in the same de- gree, be thought the country might look forward to seeing, before very long, a revival, which would bring encourage- ment to everybody and give business a fresh start, thus bringing about a period of prosperity. Genoa, May 12th. On behalf of the British delegaiion. Sir Edward Grige, commenting on the Russian reply last night, said it was just the sort of empty polities which the Bolsheviki always pro- duce and which makes negotiations with them almost impossikle, and all these pages of argument were worth about as mueh as the paper money which is the chief production of the Russian revolug ° ticn. When you get to the end, he said, you arrive at the real substance of the documents, which is a question & reci- procity. Genoa, May 12th. Great Britain has prcposed a truce for Eastern Europe on the basis of the de facto frontiers, pend- ing the conclusion of an enquiry by a comniission to be appointed, it was an- pounced this afiernoon. Genoa, May 12th. The fate of the Ge noa conference may be settled today in Paris, in the opinion of many of the dele- gates, and the decision of M Poincare on the Russian reply to the Ailied memo- randum is awaited here with the utmost anxiety. Mr. Lloyd George and Signor Schanzer have used all their influence ~with M. Barthou to impress him that the Kussian note, although not as tavourable as was hoped, still leaves the door open for profitable discussion and perhaps for a general agreement and they have urged himn to reflect this opinion in his despatch- es to the Premier. l.ondon, May 13th. Mr. Kearns, the boxi.ug promoter has informed the Asso- ciated Press that an agreement has been reached with M. Descamps for a Carpen- tier-Dempsey match, which is either to take place in London or Paris before next May. 1
