LOCAL.
The drama sereened
at St. Mary’s Hall
last night was a good one,
and received
a
fair patronage.
The part of the program
which,
however,
won
the
popular
satis-
faction of the audience
was
the series
of
scenes
from the disarmament
conference
at Washington,
showing the President
of
the U. S.,
the diplomatic representatives
of the various
powers,
reception
of the
latter 2t New York,
at
Washington,
the
Continental
Hall,
the
conference
in ses-
sion, ete.,
ete.,
all exceedingly
interest-
ing and well presented
It is reported
that a murderous
maniac
armed
with a dagger,
knife
or
as
some
say,
a
s vord, is
at
large
breaking
into
homes
to steal,
and
has
stopped
people
on the country
road.
Everybody
should
be guarded against
the
machinations
of
this being real or imaginary.

Dear Sir:—
It is plain to be
3een fro\ the arti-
cle signed
‘*BUSINES! - MEN’’appearing
on page
2 of your issue of May 17th; that
those
so-called
"'BUS.
'FSS
MEN’’ are
not familiar with the
(
-poration Law of
this
Municipality. *W
take
this
oppor-
tunity of suggesting,
t
before
rushing
into print, **‘BUSINES MEN’’(?) should
familiarize
themselue
thoroughly
with
the subject
they
atte.
pt to write
about
and
do not exhibit th
ncelves
as
wise-
acres.
While
deploring
the
r ignorance,
we
have,
in compliance W:TH
THE
LAW,
still sometime
to remain.

ciated Press
correspondents
last night, in
commenting
on the Soviet reply,
adding,
*] have
telegraphed
the
documents
to
Daris and expect
to receive
instructions
from my goverrsment
shortly.”’

General
Pershing,
G. C
B. Commander
in Chie: of the Uni-
ted States
forees
in France
during
the
war,
was this morning
bonoured
by Me-
Gill University,
which
conferred
upon
him the degree of Doctor
of Laws.
London,
May
12th.—The
Rt.
Hon.
Stanley Baldwin, President
of tse Board
of Trade,
introducing
his
estimates
in
the
House
of
Commons
yesterday,
re-
viewed world trade
and stated
that noth-
ing in
the
condition of
the
British
Do
minions,
the
United
States,
Holland,
Seandinavia
or Spain prevents
them from
buyving largely again.
He regarded
with
apprehension
the
increase
in tariffs,
es-
pecially by Franee,
Italy, Spain
and
the
United
States,
but
w
s
confident
that
Great Britain would hold her own
in the
trade with the
dominions,
owing
to
the
generous
preference
accorded.
A
fur-
ther
disquieting
feature
was,
he
said.
the attempted
discrimination
by certa'n
maritime
countries against
British
shio-
ping and
he
hoped
the
motherland
and
the dominions would confer
with regard
to this matter
before
it was too late.
If
the restoration
of
Europe
was delayed,
Great
Britain
must
intensively develop
her
inter-imperial
trade
and push
into
the
Eastern
and
South
Americen
mur-
kets.
British industries
were
mostly
li-
guidating stoeks
which
had accumulated
during the short post-war
boom, he said,
but
a reduction
in taxes
was
essentiz}
to
a
resumption
of
business.
The
c¢oal
trade
alone
had
reached
an
economic
level
and
it was
the
only
trade
where
the exports had
reached
something
like
a
pre-war
average,
but
unfortunately
there
was
no
great
demand
for indus-
trial coal, which
was not likely to reviva
uatil trade generally
began
to tmprove.
The
iron
and
steel
trade
was,
he
con-
cluded, experieneing
a
most
difficult po-
riod and
was not likely to reach
a payin.s
position for some time,
as
the world fe't
convinced
that bottom prices
had not yet
been
reached.

Geneva,
Switzerland,
May
13th.—The
Vatican is taking a deep
interest
in
the
Palestine
mandate,
now
being
consider-
ed by the League of Nations.
The
Holy
See is using its influence with the Franch
Italian
and
Brazilian
membe''s
of
the
League
to see that the
mapdate
is
safe-
guarded
and the rights of religious places
of worship observed,
