At Ulster, the Unionist lreachgarters, it is said that the importation of arms into Ireland can be stopped by the revival of the Irishi Crimes Act which had been in aboyancc for several years owing to the subsidence of the Home Rule agitation.

MONTREAL., Dec. 4-With the

books of the Juvenile Court showing that within the last thirty day( liherd have been upwards of forty cases of seduction of young girls in which the victims were little if any over 16 years of age, details in connection with the crusade of the police agiinsb the evil, are being uncovered which are nothi-.ig short of appalling. A rc- viow of the recent cases which have been brought to the attention of the court, and the calling in of young girls from the streets with the sub~ sequent taking. of their testimony, has given the affair proportions which were not imagined for a mo- ment when the campaign was inau- gurated.
