[" mrhrnnkr Satlg Sworî» Established 1897.SHERBROOKE.CANADA.THURSDAY.FEBRUARY 4.1932.Thirty-Fifth Year# JAPANESE OUTLINE CONDITIONS UNDE WHICH THEY WILL AGREE TO DISCONTINUE WAR MOVES IN CHINA !» Almost at Same Time as This Announcement Was Made, However, Came Report of a Slashing Attack on Chinese Chapei Area\u2014Forts at Woosung Withstood Another Terrific Bombardment from Japanese Warships, and Chinese Appeared to Be Holding Their Own\u2014Neither Side Appears to Have Gained Any Important Advantage.JAPAN has informed Great Britain, through Sir Francis Bindley, Ambassedi r to Tokyo, and the other powers co-operating to end hostilities in the East, that the Japanese forces will \u201cimmediately cease their disturbing activities.\u201d Almost at the same time that this modification was given to the ambassadors at Tokyo, Japanese bluejackets in Shanghai renewed a slashing attack on the Chinese Chapei area and the Chinese appeared to be holding their own.The forts at Woosung withstood another terrific bombardment from Japanese warships in the Whangpo, but neither side appeared to have caused any important advantage.A full division of the Japanese army is to be sent to Shanghai to replace the bluejackets who have been there since last Friday, the Government at Tokyo decided.The Soviet Ambassador called on the Japanese 'Foreign Minister regarding activities of Japanese forces in the Harbin area, particularly with reference to the use of the Chinese Eastern Railway, which Russia owns jointly with China, for the transportation of Japanese troops.There were unconfirmed reports in Shanghai that Admiral Shiosawa, the Japanese naval commander, had committed suicide, because of the Government's action in replacing him with Admiral Bomura.Te report was officially denied.WILL CEASE HOSTILE ACTS ON CERTAIN CONDITIONS SUBMARINE M-2 WAS LOCATED BY DESTROYER CANADA\u2019S NEW MINISTER OF FINANCE BRITAIN NEW TOKYO, Feb.4.\u2014The reply of the Japanese Government to the powers\u2019 proposals for peace m Shanghai, handed tonight to Sir Francis Lirdley, English Ambassador to Japan, and other foreign diplomats, agreed to cease hostile acts there if Japan is assured the Chinese will \u2018'immediately and completely cease their disturbing J activities.\u201d\tj The reply, which was presented ; Foreign Minister Kenkichi Yos-j hizawa after it had been approved j by the cabinet and Emperor Hiro-h\u2019ito, added, however, that if the Chinese regulars or non-uniformed forces persisted in their activities Japan would tr compelled to reserve full freedom of action.A few minutes before the note, was made public it was learned the government ('\u2022 ided definitely to send a full division of army troops to Shanghai to take the place of the bluejackets who have been bearing the brunt of the fighting since last Friday.The following is the text of the English translation of the note supplied by the Foreign Office: \u201cFirst\u2014The Japanese forces at Shanghai will cease hostile acts if it is assured the Chinese forces will immediately and completely cease their menacing and disturbing activities.If.on the contrarv, the Chinese, including both regular and non-uniformed forces, persist in such activities, the Japanese Government must reserve Hs freedom of action for its military forces.\u201cSecond\u2014In view of the unreliability of the Chinese in the past and the gravity of the present sid-uation, the Japanese Government finds it impossible to renounce mobilization or preparations for hostilities.\u201cThird \u2014 The Japanese Government has no objection to its consul general and commander at Shanghai entering into negotiations for an agreement concerning separation of the respective forces.and, if necessary, the establishment of a neutral zone in (he district of Chapei.\u201cFourth\u2014While it is to he presumed the phrase \u2018All pending rpiestions between Japan and China\u2019 includes the Manchurian situation, the Japanese Government regards this latter as entirely separate from the Shanghai affair and, moreover, as covered by a resolution of \u2018he League of Nations Council on December 10, 1931.\u201cFurthermore, it is a settled policy of the Japanese Government not to accept assistance of neutral observers or participants in the settlement of questions concerning Manchuria.For these rea-.sons the condition embodied n paragraph five of the powers\u2019 note is not acceptable to the Japanese Government.\u201d RUMORS THAtIaP ADMIRAL ENDED HIS LIFE DENIED SHANGHAI, Chino, Feb.4.\u2014 Japanese naval oflicials here today denied reports that Admiral Shio-rawa, Japanese Commander hero, had committed suicide, as was reported in earlier dispatches today.The report was officially denied, hut it was widely believed at Shanghai, the dispatch said, because of numerous notable precedents in Japanese history.Students of Japanese psychology said the Admiral would be bound to consider himself a failure because of the fact that his attempt to capture the Chapei sector at Shanghai was unsuccessful.Some persons at Shanghai, it said, attributed his succession in command by Admiral Nomura as a personal reflection in spite of assurances from Tokyo that this action was taken only because of the necessity for AND U.S.SEND PROTESTS TO JAPAN.WASHINGTON, D.C., Feb.4.\u2014A new protest against the use by the Japanese of the International Settlement as a base for their attacks upon the Chinese, went to Japan today from the British and United States Governments.Divers Today Examining Wreck of British Boat Which Sank in Channel on January 26\u2014 Salvage Work Delayed.PORTLAND, England, Feb.4.\u2014 Divers today were examining the wreck of the British submarine M-2 which sank January 26 off the coast here and which was definitely located on the bottom of the Channel late last night by sub-sea soundings.Admiralty officials said it was unlikely that the hull of the submarine, which went rown with sixty-one men aboard, would be salvaged before next summer.Westerly winds in the Channel would be almost certain to interrupt the salvage work if it were begun now, they said.The vessel was located by the destroyer Torrid.The spot where it was found was near where two submarine signal flags in a canvas bag were picked up during the frenzied search last week when hope of saving the lives of tire crew was still cherished.It was also near the spot where the captain of the coastwise vessel Tyne* sider said he saw a submarine go down.This location was some distance from the place where the search was conducted during the first two days after the loss of the submarine was made known.CHINESE FORTS AT WOOSUNG TODAY SCENE OF ANOTHER BITTER CLASH Forts, However, Held Their Own Under Heavy Bombardment, as They Did Yesterday\u2014Heaviest Shelling Was Between Eleven O\u2019CIock and Noon\u2014Fresh Japanese Troops on Way to Strengthen Bluejackets\u2019 Attack.SHANGHAI, Feb.4.\u2014 Three* Japanese warships raine] aj terrific shell fire on the Chin- j ese forts at Woosung again today, ' while in Shanghai, sixteen miles up j the river, Chinese and Japanese ] troops ripped at each other when j field pieces and machine guns.The forts held their own under] the heavy bombardment today, as they did yesterday, when at one time they were reported by the Japanese to ha,-, been flattened out.| The heaviest shelling took place ! between eleven o\u2019clock and noon, an eye .vitness reported.After that ' Japanese destroyers crept up clos-! er to the forts, he said apparently in order to draw fire from the Chin- j ese guns.The chief response from 1 the Chinese, however, came from the machine gunners on Soochow Creek.\u201cWhen I arrived,\u201d the observer said, \u201cone of the destroyers apparently had been hit and was beached, but it got off later and steamed down the river.Fou: Japanese aeroplanes then roared over the forts.\" Several shells from the Chapei battiefront were reported to hr.'e fallen within the Intern tional Settlement during the day, but there was no indie tion that they had banned anyone.Despatches from Tokyo said a division of Japanese soldiers was on the way from Japan to strengthen the blue jackets attack here.CONDITION OF having a man senior in rank to Shiosawa in charge of Japanese affairs at Shanghai at the present time.RUSSIANS AND JAPANESE HELD FRIENDLY MEETING TOKYO, Feb.4.\u2014 Alexander Troyanovsky, Soviet Ambassador to Japan, called upon Foreign Minister Kenkichi Yoshizawa today and it was understood he discussed attempts of the Japanese military authorities in Manchuria to use the western portion of the Chinese Eastern Railway line for the purpose of moving troops from Tsit-sihar to Harbin.The Russian ambassador pointed out, it was understood, that Russia conditionally agreed to the isc of the railway by the Chinese for military purpose\u2019s only on the Chang Chun-Harhin branch.A further agreement should have been secured, he said, before using the main line.The meeting was entirely friendly, it was understood, and M.Troy-anovsky\u2019s representations were in no way considered as a protest.He acted, it was said, without specific instructions from Moscow.A belief prevailed in some quarte .that, the Soviet envoy .!.so broached again the subject of a Russo - Japanese non - aggression pact.Prime Minister Underwent Delicate But Not Serious Operation on Left Eye Last Night\u2014Quite Comfortable This Morning.LONDON, Feb.4.\u2014Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald, who last night underwent a delicate but not serious operation on his left eve, was reported \u201cquite comfortable this morning1\u2019 in a medical bulletin.The Premier had a fairly restful night and the condition of his eye was said to be satisfactory.He was able to sit up in bed this morning and eat a normal breakfast, Mr.MacDonald's ailment, glaucoma, was described before the operation as involving a \u201cgradual diminution in the vision of the left eye.\u201d He had been suffering from intermittent headaches for some time.Despite the present world crisis and many important problems demanding bis attention at home, it was decided that an immediate operation was necessary.lie was expected to remain in a nursing home for a week or ten days.ANDREW MELLON NAMED AMBASSADOR TO BRITAIN WASHINGTON, Feb.4.\u2014After eleven years as Secretary of the United States Treasury under three Presidents, Andrew W.Mellon is to hand over his portfolio to Under Secretary Ogden L.Mills and become Ambassador to the Court of Sr.James.President Hoover announced last night that the veteran cabinet officer who has guided the financial policies of the United States since the beginning of the Harding administration has expressed his willingness to serve in the foreign fioid.He succeeds Charles Gates Dawes, who resigned last month to become president of the reconstruction corporation.For almost two weeks Mr.Mellon, who is nearly seventy-seven, has been considering undertaking the nation's most important diplomatic post, but it was not until last, night that the White House formally announced lus acceptance.1 COLORFUL SCENES PREVAIL AS LORD BESSBOROUGH OPENED THIRD SESSION OF PRESENT PARLIAMENT Hon.Edgar N.Rhodes, formerly Minister of Fisheries, who

in the upper chamber following the resignation of Hon.W.B.Willoughby (Moose Jaw) from the leadership at a caucus of party senators this morning.Events moved speedily.Gathering at eleven o\u2019clock in the Parliament Buildings, nearly forty-Conservative senators out of their quota of forty-nine in the red chamber assembled.Senator Willoughby immediately called the meeting to order.His health was not the best, Senator Willoughby declared, and he felt it imperative that he should resign as government leader.But in doing so, he wished to express heartfelt thanks to the members of his party who

Rt.Hon.W.S.Fielding and Sir Charles Tupper, who hold that portfolio for a time.Twice Prime Minister of Canada, from July 10, 1930, to December 29, 1931, and June 28, 1926, to September 25, 1926,

Colonization.TTAVVA, ONT., February 4.\u2014Bright, winter sunshine reflected from clean, white snow fornied a brilliant background for the opening of Parliament today.All the color and ceremony, gay uniforms, mounted soldiers and booming canons were in evidence when, shortly before three o\u2019clock, Iheir Excellencies Lord and Lady Bessborough arrived in an open, sleigh for their first parliamentary opening.Accompanying them was their mounted escort from the Princess Louise Dragoon Guards, a score of troopers, with flashing helmets and blue uniforms.On Parliament Hill, the guard-of-honor from the Governor-General\u2019s Loot Guards, sprang to sharp salute as Their Excellencies arrived.From the main entrance of the Parliament Buildings, Their Excellencies proceeded to the Senate Chamber.There the scene was \u2022one of color and beauty.Richly gowned ladies, uniformed officers of the army and navy, the scarlet and ermine of Supreme Court Judges, the impressively decorated chamber itself, formed a beautiful picture.Their Excellencies took their seats, the Governor-General on the throne, and Lady Bessborough near at hand in the carven chair, once the property of the Princess Louise and now treasured in the Dominion Archives.Then, a messenger was sent across to summon members of the Commons to attend His Excellency in the Senate.To the Commons, waiting in their own chamber, came the message, preceded by the usual sharp knocks on the oak door.Headed by Mr.Speaker George Black, the members trooped across to the Senate, and formed up against the brass bar beyond which a Commoner may not proceed.There they listened to His Excellency's reading of the speech in both official languages.The members of the Commons proceed to the Senate.They stand in the somewhat restricted space before the bar of the Senate beyond which a commoner may not proceed, end listen to the reading of the Throne pseech.The speech is read in English and then in French.Then the

(Montreal), Senator Ballantyne was | appointed Minister of Public Works in the Borden administration on October 3, 1917.Ten days later, the new senator resigned the portfolio of Public Works and was appointed ; Minister of Marine and Fisheries | and Minister of the Naval Service.| Following the resignation of Sir ! Robert Borden as Prime Minister ! and the choice of Rt.Hon.Arthur j Meighen as succeeding Premier, Se-j nator Ballantyne entered the newly J formed Meighen Government as Minister of Marine and Fisheries and Minister of the Naval Service on July 13, 1920.In the general election of 1921, i Senator Ballantyne was defeated in his old constituency and retired from | office with the Meighen ministry on December 29, 1921.Gaining prominence as a physi-I dan and citizen in the Cape Breton j community where he located to j practice his profession, Dr.Mac-! donald was nominated in 1916 as a j candidate for the Nova Scotia Le-! gislature and was elected.He was : re-elected in 1920 and 1925.When a I federal election was announced in ' 1925 he resigned his Nova Scotia j seat and was elected to the House j of Commons.In 1926 he was re-I elected to the Commons and sat until 1930, when he resigned to make way j for Hon.E.N.Rhodes, Premier of Nova Scotia, who had been appoint-I ed Minister of Fisheries in the cabinet of Rt.Hon.R.B.Bennett.Mr.Rhodes brings to the Finance j portfolio a wealth of Parliamentary | experience covering more than two i decades.First a Deputy Speaker of j the House of Commons, shortly after ! its Speaker, later Premier of his na-j tive province of Nova Scotia, and j then _ returning to the domain of ; Dominion politics as Minister of j Fisheries upon the formation of \u2022v.\u2019 Bennett Government, the new Minister of Finance takes over his new j duties with undoubted experience as ; an able administrator.Skilled in debate, he follows several native Nova Scotians who have bad charge of the financial affairs of the Dominion in | days gone by.WILL REBUILD GREATER PART OF SANTIAGO Estimated that Approximately Eighty Per Cent, of Quake-Wrecked City Will Have to Be Rebuilt SANTIAGO, Cuba, Feb.4.\u2014Fleeing thousands, virtually bearing their mattresses on their backs to escape a possible repetition of Wednesday\u2019s earthquake terrors, left quake-wrecked Santiago a dead city today.There was a slight shock early this morning but it did no damage.Nine persons were known dead and approximately 1,000 of the 70,000 population were treated for major or_ minor injuries.The damage was officially estimated in excess of $10,-000,000 by officials who surveyed the ruins, left by one of the most destructive earthquake to strike the city in the past four hundred years.The exodus of residents to- the high hills that surround Santiago on three sides^ was in strange contrast to the flight of hundreds yesterday to the central plaza, where frenzied invocations were made to the patron saint of Cuba for protection against the earthquakes.Relief organizations continued their well-organized work today and meantime, the rehabilitation of the city was begun.Approximately eighty per cent of the city's houses will have to be rebuilt, officials stated.High buildings, an ancient cathedral whose spire surmounted angel was invoked by the frantic crowds in the plaza, business houses, hotels and the like, ail probably must be torn down.The evacuation of the city preceded a proclamation by Mayor Desi-derio Arnaz that a twenty-four hour period of evacuation he observed to eliminate danger from falling walls or recurrent earth shocks.QUEBEC, Feb.4.\u2014On a division of seventy-two to eight, Premier Taschereau and his cabinet were accorded a vote of confidence last night.When the resolution of the Government placing $1,000,090 at the disposition of the cabinet for colonization purposes, Aime Guertin, of Hull, offered the following amendment: \u201cThis House, while ready to vote the credit demanded for colonization roads, regrets that instead of exercising economy in a judicious manner, the Government has thought fit to exercise it at the expense of the settlers of this province, by diminishing the item in question by $260,000, which represents a reduction of $694,000 on the total amount expended on the same item to date during the curren period.\u201cThis House regrets moreover that the policy of establishing industrial unemployed on colonization lands, begun in July, 1931, at an initial cost of $803,212, according to the statement of special warrants issued while Parliament was not in session, should be abandoned since no special credit for that purpose has _ been requested.\u201d When the vote was called, the amendment was turned down by a vote of seventy-two to eight and the original motion carried on the same vote reversed.to introducFfeminine BALLOT BILL IN COUNCIL DISAGREEMENT OVER JAPAN IS FIRST DISPUTE Spanish Delegate at World Dis* armament Conference Attempted to Prevent Japanese from Securing One of Fourteen Vice-Presidencies.JAPANESE REJECTED TWO CLAUSES OF PEACE PACT TOKYO, Feb.4.\u2014 The Japanese Government announced tonight it rejected the second and fifth of the five proposals for a Sino-Japanese peace submitted yesterday by the powers and accepted the first, third and fourth conditionally QUEBEC, Feb.4.\u2014 Hon, Henry Miles, of Montreal, will introduce to the Legislative Council a bill to accord to Quebec women the right to vote and to candidature in provincial elections.He announced this yesterday after Hon.Jacob Nicol, Speaker of the Red Chamber, had admitted receiving from the Canadian Alliance for Women\u2019s vote in Quebec a letter, on_ which he said he would leave to private initiative the introduction of a suffrage measure.Hon.Mr.Miles considered that a challenge and said he would pick it up.-As the Council convened this afternoon, Hon.Mr.Miiee asked: \"Has the Speaker of this House received from the Canadian Alliance for Wo-men\u2019s'Yote a letter or petition;

points which Canon Shatford I brought out during his address | would be a difficult task.His words | were truly words of wisdom, and he ! left much of value for 1 is hearers : to think over.To deliver an address before a gathering of serious-mind-, ed business men and care-free, en-; thudastic boys is no easy task, but] it is one which Canon Shatford is i accomplished this task on past occasions in Sherbrooke and did it again last evening.While his words had a special bearing on the relations of fathers and sons.Canon Shatford also brought out points which made his address one of general interest.Announcing his topic as \u201cThe Pairs of Life,\u201d Canon Shatford brought out five \u201cpairs\u201d of ideas existing betwen fathers and sons.^vei\u2018>,rhe0'explai'uecihhow'everything I^an|ages Arising from Automo-in life seems to go in pairs.When j bile Accident Awarded to the Almighty made the world He : paired everything, such as day and night, light and darkness.In the be-j ginning He paired His creatures, jmale and female, and in the next great pair He made fathers and sons.In everything pairs are to be ! found, he said.As examples of this he cited, east and west, north and.\t, south, top and bottom, right andimob,le acclQent \"Inch occurred at left, back and front.In the human! the intersection of King street east] structure pairs are again evident.; and Bowen avenue was heard by LOCAL PARTIES INTERESTED IN COURT ACTION Donat Bernard Against Hubert Gordon, Both of Sherbrooke\u2014Young Thieves Are Sentenced to Two Years.An action arising from an auto- the maximum penalty was fourteen years on such a charge, and counselled the youths to conduct themselves well while incarcerated with the prospect that good conduct would obtain parole.FORMER E.T.RESIDENT PASSES AWAY The death occurred at Saint John, N.B., of Mrs.Janet Nixon, formerly of Flodden, Quebec.Mrs.Nixon spent the greater part of her early life in the Eastern Town-rhips.She resided in Saint John for e nast two years.Man has been given two eyes, two cars, two arms and so forth.Everything goes in pairs.In describing the five ideas which exist regarding father and son, Canon Shatford mentioned first, authority and freedom.This he explained in a very concise manner.Authority naturally belonged to the father, the head of the family, and freedom to the son.It was important, he said, for the father to use his authority with discretion and to allow his son the freedom which the younger one should enjoy and had a right to expect.The next idea was experience and adventure.The father with his years of experience should be an inspiration and a guide to his son.The son, endowed with a spirit of was Judge J.H.Lemay in the Magistrate's Court yesterday afternoon, when Hubert Gordon, of this city, was ordered to pay Donat Bernard, also of SherbrooKe, $64.05 for the damages which the latter's car suffered in the collision of the two vehicles.The original amount of the action was $99.03, but in rendering judgment against the defendant Judge Lemay reduced this amount of $35, twenty-five dollars of which Bernard claimed for de- i preciation and the remaining ten ! dollars for the time he had been deprived of his car.In his declaration Bernard claimed that he was proceeding along Ecwen avenue south towards King adventure, should look to his father 1 street and had received the signal for inspiration.But the boy should j from the traffic officer to proceed, have every opportunity of develop-] Re stated that as he started to cross ing his own spirit of adventure, j the intersection Gordon's car started Here also he gave the fathers a up King street and the collision relittle word of advice, reminding ! suited.them that they had gained their I Gordon and a friend who was experience and had come to occupy j accompanying him, Richard Chris-their present position because they j topher, admitted that the car was 1 in their youth had been privileged to develop their spirit of adventure.Unless the world experimented and the individual too'- chances nothing of greatness would be achieved.Separation and continuity was the next idea to be outlined.In this he explained how there must be a division between father and son, but at the same time there must be a connecting link, a link of common interest.Identity and variety between father and son was then discussed, followed by the final point, cyltqre and service.In this latter point.Canon Shatford explained how a father should help to develop his son, mentally and physically, so that by his culture, education and physical health he might be of service to the world and to his fellow-men.In conclusion he pleaded for understanding between father and son, and co-operation and friendship between all men.The whole world, he remarked, was one great family belonging to God.One nation could not live independently of the other.All people are relying upon the other, and it is only by co-operation and Christian love that the world will be made better for everyone.At the conclusion of his address Canon Shatford was thanked Rev.Mr.Simmons.BURY Pictures, I.O.O.F.Hall, Sat., 6th.travelling about twenty miles an j hour, but asserted that they thought ] the defendant had been given the right-of-way and had picked up speed to make the steep King street grade.Among the witnesses heard for the plaintiff were Constable S.Robi-doux, who claimed he had given Bernard the signal to proceed and tftat \u201cGordon did not stop and would have run over me had I not jumped aside\u201d; Alfred Roy and Albert Collin, eye-witnesses of the mishap; Napoleon Bernard, Alphonse Dussault and the plaintiff himself, who j averred that the defendant had told him \u201che would fix everything,\u201d but had refused to pay the damages after the car had been repaired.Richard Christopher, Rolland Pontbriand and the defendant testified on behalf of the defence.Before the action for damages was started, Liboire Metivier and Wilfrid Grondin, said to be from East Angus, were sentenced to two years in the.penitentiary for theft by infraction by night of the Dominion Lime Ridge Company store, which also serves as the Lime Ridge post office.The two young men had pleaded guilty to the accusation, but Metivier yesterday desired to change his plea.A motion to this by ] effect was dismissed when Judge Lemay explained that Metivier and ] his confederate had fully under- ] stood the gravity of their offence- ; when they had entered pleas admitting their guilt.In passing sentence, Judge Lemay remarked that I P LAYS the new Victor 30- minute RECORDS si well o> ragulor rKordi Own this fine initrument ., .play the new Victor Long Playing Rerord», or enjoy the finest of radio programs with tne 8-mbe Super-Heterodyne radio , , , complete home entertainment .ill it die lowest price in the history of Victor \u2014 a price that is definitely within your meaaa.H.C.WILSON umh ns Limited FRIGIDAIRE Established 1663 TELEPHONE -14.Deeleri: K.E.Cauvin & Co.,\tB.F.Stewirt.Rock laland; Joa.Alllire, Cooticook.PIANOS\tRADIOS 37 Wellington St.N.SHERBROOKE, P.Q.r\t\"\t\t ¦*r r'n \"¦\tr -\t, 1-,-.\t¦\t.r '\t \u2022\t Dufferin Store\t 24 Dufferin Ave.Tel.1540.\t Meat, Department Special.\t , I/Cg of veal, lb\t\t2'JC | Vea!
