Mayor Adhemar Raynault of Montreal has promised to study a brief presented to him by a delegation representing Montreal members of the accounting staff of the Canadian National Railways asking his support in protesting a pro- posed step to centralize disbursement accounting of the railway at Moncton, N. B., Toronto and \\"innipeg. The delegation, representing 250 ac- couiit xts, claimed that the proposed centralization would make it necessary for them to move to Toronto. Couldn't Premier Campbell be persuad- ed to act similarly, especally as this, with us is primarily a provincial matter? i i U I Captain the Rev. R. J. Berlis, B. D., now serving overseas, and who has many warm friends and admirers here, writes under date of May 25 from Edinburgh: “I am attending the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland as delegate from the Presbyterian Church in Can- ada. If I live to be a hundred I'll never forget the thrill of making my obeisaiice before the Mod- erator and then addressing the great Assembly. The stately services in St. Giles, the brilliant ad- dresses in the House by men like John Baillie, I-Iutchison Cockburn, Henry Smith Leiper, —-the energetic debates—all these bespeak a great, and a progressive Church. The Assembly received me most graciously, and I am amazed to realize how many Scots clerics I know.” 1 i i I Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen, P. C., B. A.

A German officer was making vain efforts to win himself into the good graces of a Belgian patriot with whom he ivished to be friendly; the Belgian remained cold and distant, assuming an attitude of great reserve whenever the German tried to convince him of the necessity for an un- dcrstanding between the two peoples. “Since you insist that we're both working toward the same end, then we should be able to exchange ideas without reservation and with complete frankness shouldn't we?" remarked the patriot. “Naturally," answered the German, happy to have finally sun- ceeded in making a convert. "Don't hesitate to tcli me all your thoughts, as you ivmild to your broth- er." At this the Belgian leaned over to liim and

Physicians have been told directly and bluntly that theymust organize immediately to take over the emergency military and civilian medical needs of the country——or else. The "or else" phrase was laid down bluntly by Mr. Paul V.

Mr. McNutt added that he was not talk- ing politics or social theory but "plain bard facts"

-_____ It I; often said that, "Lake Nip- Isslng 1s full of fish". That Is no exaggeration. There are many wno believe that the lake, because of some unusual condition, will never be "fished out". Whether that; ls true OI‘ not, only time will tell, but there is one certainty and that; Is the lake is not yet showing any sign of being depleted of its fish supply. Most reports this Spring say the fishing In Lake Niplss-Ihg 1S finer than ever before. Large numbers of delicious pickerel are being hauled from its wat-ers every day. The lake is also teeming with pike, tnougli this species does not usually find as much favor wlzn the anglers as does the more delect- able plckerel. -Nort.h Bay Nugget.
