Socialist defence officials described the insurgent attacks as \u201cviolent assaults\u201d in the hope of broadening the battle front to take in the entire northern sector.The insurgents again attacked the outlying districts from the air, the bombardment being concentrated on Socialist fortifications around the model prison.Government columns in the far north, meanwhile, were reported

Conclude Business in Less than Four Months to Allow Cabinet Ministers and Members to Attend Coronation Ceremonies on May 12 \u2014 Substantial Savings Expected from Consolidation of Departments Effective Today.London, Dec.1.\u2014London\u2019s world, famous Crystal Palace, relic of the Victorian era, was a smoking ruin of tangled steel and molten glass today following a fire which swept through the giant structure.Sir Henry Buckland, managing director of the palace, its various exhibits and numerous auditoriums, declared that in his opinion the fire started from a gas explosion.He based his opinion on the rapid spread of the flames.The great dome, built entirely of metal and glass, crashed in a blazing inferno shortly after the fire was discovered throwing sparks and flames six hundred feet high.Fire-fighters strove to prevent the conflagration from spreading to neighboring buildings and homes.The flames threw a luminous pall over the entire capital and were visible for almost fifty miles.London\u2019s millions gathered on rooftops and vantage points throughout, the metropolis to view the spectacular blaze.An orchestra rehearsing in the Handel auditorium of the palace narrowly escaped with their lives .when the fire was discovered shortly after eight p.m., so quickly did it eat its way into the great central auditorium.The big orgafi, one of the largest in England, was destroyed.The research laboratory of Baird Television, Limited, installed in the tower of the palace, was also destroyed.Four firemen suffered minor injuries from smoke and flying glass.Damages have not been estimated.The building was partly covered by insurance, but this was based on its original cost of approximately $»,-750,000 in 1854.Sir Henry said the palace could not be duplicated today for less than $10,000,000.EIGHT BELOV WAS RECORDED DURING NIGHT Local Citizens Experienced Coldest Spell of Season, but Were Not Caugbt Unprepared, for Icy Wave Had Been in Offing for

o\u2019clock this morning.Comparatively little snow has fallen to date this season, and local highways are still open to motor traffic.The roads are in a slippery condition, however, and motoring is hazardous.The same situation prevails in the city, and numerous accidents during the past few days have been attributed to ice-covered pavements.NEW QUEEN FOR THE BELGIANS?O ttawa, Dec.1.\u2014One of

Spain Rapidly Becoming Cockpit of Europe with Arrival of Five Thousand Germans at Seville Within Past Forty-Eight Hours\u2014Russian and French Volunteers Reported in Government Ranks\u2014British Nationals, Despite Government Warnings, Are Fighting on Both Sides\u2014Great Britain Plans No Early Representations.London, December 1.\u2014-Spain is becoming the cockpit of Europe.The British Government today received information that approximately six thousand Germans arrived at Seville within the past forty-eight hours to reinforce the insurgent troops of General Francisco Franco.It is assumed that they were landed from two boats, at Cadiz.The information received does not show that they are a military formation or equipped for service.\u201cBut,\u201d it was authoritatively stated today, \u201cif they are shown to be a military formation armed and equipped by the German Government, the British Government would deplore it.\" As the Germans did not proceed to Spain through any British territory, the British Government, it is understood, does not feel called upon to make representations.That is the business of the Spanish Government.The non-intervention agreement, it is pointed out, does not affect volunteers.It is confined to the supply of armaments.If the Germans were armed, however, whether they are volunteers or not, their armaments would be a breach of the agreement.________________________________$ From the opposite side, Russia is sending help to the Madrid Government.It was learned that a General FLAMES CAST RED GLOW OVER VALLEY OF THE MOON.Sonoma,

Dec.1.\u2014Conclusion of art Anglo-French defensive accord, by which Great Britain and France agree to assist each other in case of an unprovoked attack, was reported by reliable sources today.Charles Corbin, French Ambassador to London, personally communicated his country\u2019s pledge to the British Foreign Office in response to a similar guarantee from Great Britain on November 20th, it was declared.(Anthony Eden, the British Foreign Secretary, at that time declared France could count on British aid if she were attacked without1 provocation by another European nation.Last

to Regulation of Bus and Truck Traffic.ol Ottawa, Dec.1.\u2014A course whereby Canada could vastly cheapen transportation and bring back prosperity to her railroads today presents a problem of apparently insuperable difficulties.So said Hon.C.D.Howe, Minister of Transport, last night at a Board of Trade address here in discussing transportation by railway, water, highway and air.Mr.Howe said that while coordination is desirable of various means of transportation he did not think a superman\u2014which he considered necessary to fulfil the task \u2014 was possible under the divided jurisdiction Canada has.\u201cIt is costing the Dominion Government a tremendous amount to carry on transportation today,\u201d he said.\u201cThe Government has always subsidized transportation and it is the same in other countries.\u201cBut there is such a thing as subsidizing transportation more _ than the country can stand.That is the position in Canada today.We pay more for transportation than the country can stand.\u201d Steamchip and airplane transportation, said Mr.Howe, might be i brought under federal regulation as j to rates, but jurisdiction of the provinces presented an almost insurmountable barrier to regulation of bus and truck traffic by the federal authority.-v ttawa, Dec.1.\u2014Political observers today were left speculating on how far Canada might go in any move for inter-American cooperation designed to strengthen the bonds of peace in the Western Hemisphere.The reason was Prime Minister Mackenzie King\u2019s statement yesterday to newspapermen when he reminded them Canada has not been invited to join any \u201cWestern League of Nations.\u201d It was impossible, he declared, to say what the future would indicate as the proper course to pursue, but it might be that Canada would join many unions that make for good relations between nations, although it was unlikely this country would join any military alliance.The Prime Minister was asked to comment on speculative reports regarding Canada\u2019s possible participation in any league arising from the Inter-American Peace Conference which President Roosevelt will open in Buenos Aires today.He recalled that a chair had been held vacant at Washington in the Pan-American Union, but reminded his hearers that previous governments had withheld from participation in that body\u2019s activities.However, he said, some conference might be held before Parliament meets on the waterways treaty involving possible development of an international deep-sea route from the St.Lawrence to the lake head.(Possibilities of a deeper water inland route from Montreal to New York were examined last week by the International Joint Commission which held hearings in upstate New York, Vermont and Montreal).In any event, the Prime Minister said, no announcement resulting from possible conferences on the subject would he made before the opening of Parliament.PROPOSED NEUTRALITY PACT FEATURES PARLEY British Columbia Social Credit Union Has Closed Its Office and Is Preparing to Withdraw from Political Field.Vancouver, Dec.1.\u2014The British Columbia Social Credit Union, said to have been organized at the instigation of Prembier Aberhart, prepared today to close its office here and to withdraw from the political field in this province.Announcement John L.Loveseth, executive secretary, had resigned; and the office would be closed was made yesterday.The British Columbia Social Credit League, a separate organization not following leadership of any particular person, announced last Friday it had selected eleven candidates for the next provincial election and would contest all forty-eight seats.The Union statement said Premier Aberhart had asked Mr.Loveseth last September 2flth to attempt the formation of an organization in British Columbia to \u201cendeavor to co-ordinate the social credit forces in British Columbia into one unified body that would act under Premier Abehart\u2019s direction and leadership.\u201d _________________ A NEW~S1NG1NG CAREER IS PLANNED BY GALLI-CURCI Noted Diva Dismissed with a Laugh What Critics Said About Her Chicago

nart in the competition.Thus, despite drought and other visitât! ; of nature, the Canadian West has proved its stuff, and it is on the record of such men as Herman Trelle that the prairies base Ineir hope for a come-back : when nature smiles on them again.Canada And The Empire.Apparently the United Farmers of Ontario desire, imperially, to have their cake and eat it too.; judging iron a u solution passed at their convenir n in Toronto calling upon Premier King to declare at the next Imperial Conference that Canada will nut; follow the other members of the Empire into war In 1 r\u2019ain English they want Canada to \"run her own A tv\" rerardhss of what Britain.Australia Yew \u2022 > a-and or other parts of the Empire may dm Bui Canada cannot proclaim complete political J independence and still retain her place in the' Commonwealth of Nations.Should she break away from the Empire, i Canada would lese the military and naval protect!- u ci Britain which she has enjoyed in the past -vit -out a cent of expenditure and which protect n is vitally necessary until Canada becomes much largir and stronger than she is now.Another thing that the Ontario farmers \"\u2022parent! y overlook is that Great Britain provides Canada\u2019s most important export market, especially fm the products of Ontario's farms, and this mark-' has been gained largely on account of Canadian membership in the Commonwealth.If the Dominion hopes to retain this market, it must accept -cm-responsibility.It cannot receive everything md give nothing, a fact these United Farmers apparently \u2018 do not understand Miss Macphiiil Yaps Again.Miss Agnes Maephail, first woman member of the Canadian Parliament, has the rather unhappy faculty of speaking out of turn and on subjeci?oi which she knows little or nothing.Her late.-\u2019 faux pas was delivered in Washington when she declared that Canadians were becoming restive over the United States rearmament programme.Miss Maephail is a person who sees a war bogey in the least sign of military preparedness.Sne has for years protested that Canada\u2019s very modest militia expenditures are a menace to the peace of ue world, and it was largely through her objections that the valuable cadet training was suspe \u2019.ed in Canadian schools.As long a; Miss Maephail confined her attacks on armaments to Canada she w s more or less on safe ground, as nobody takes her very seriously, but when she appoints hersvlf as Canada\u2019s spokesman abroad the situation is materially altered.The average Canadian, probably ninety-nine per cent, of the population, has not the sligitest concern in ti e world over the United States rearmament programme.In fact does not care whether a cannon is stored in every U.S.farmer\u2019s barn.For a hundred years or more the two nations have lived peacefully side by side and through r- ¦ jiving periods of armament and disarmament have not experienced the slightest trouble.Canadians appreciate United Slates rearmament for just what it is 'ntended lo be\u2014a defensive force and in many ways it is an added measure of security for the Dominion.Encourage These Young Csnadianr Once again the members of the Boy Scout c pan- i nation in Sherbrooke and vicinity, in comm- n with : heir fellow scouts throughout the land, art- under ! ik.ng their annual toy shop, by which they hope to provide toys and othei gifts for those children who| would otherwise be forgotten bv Santa Claus at the festive season.This is a movement which has recel\u2019 .well-merited support from Sherbrooke citizens in the' past, odd and damaged toys having been received in large numbers, while cash donations have amounted to substantial sums.This year the officials again seek the whole-hearted co-operation of the citizen:.Nothing is too old, for the manner in which the Scouts repair the toys is truly remarkable.Articles battered and worn almost beyond recognition are repaired and repainted until in many cases they are as good as new.Important as these toyshops are in bringing joy into the world at Cbristmastide, they have another side equally as important, as in the words of the poet: \u201cThe quality of mercy is not strained, It is twice-blessed.It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.\u201d In these toy shops the boys, the Canadian citizens of the future, are taught that they have a certain responsibility to their less-fortunate neighbors and learn that greatest of all real joys\u2014the joy of giving.Nobel Peace Prize And Hitler Revenge.The award of the Nobel peace prize to Carl von Ossietzky, who has spent the past three years in a German concentration camp, shows Nazi Germany what the outside world thinks oi Reichsfueher Hitler\u2019s little ways.And the official Nazi reaction to the award ought to show the outside world that the world\u2019s attitude is correct.Understandably enough, the Nazis are furious.A Government spokesman made a rather sinister remark about the case: \"If disruptive elements wish to rally behind the name of Von Ossietzky, we shall have to reconsider our position in regard to him.\u201d Consider the facts for a montent.Von Ossietzky spent three years in prison and came out with his health ruined.He is now struggling to recover in a Berlin hospital.But, say the all-powerful German leaders, if the outside world is going to make too much fuss about him.we shall get even.We shall throw him right back into prison! It is an appalling thing to see a government of a major nation actuated by the motives of a school-vard bully.T 'Irt t* if tit* à\tUIf | A Ilf t.Mfriiolas By Clement Clarke Moore Thirty Years Ago Today From the Files of the Sherbrooke Record.December 1st, 1900.The following officers were named by the newly-formed Sherbrooke Ice Company: Messrs, D.McMa-namv, C.G.Thompson, Fletcher Thompson and Alex Ames.Winners at the opening: debate of the High School Debating Club were Craie White, Glen Sampson and Lloyd McKee, the losers being William Craig, Gordon Kerr and Reginald Armstrong.The prize-winners at the opening game of the Young People\u2019s Bridge Club were Miss Edith Bradford and Mr.Alan Morkill.Taking part in an entertainment at the Coaticook Baptist Church were Miss Bertine Kendall, Miss P.Chandler.Mrs.Lee Demery, Rev.and Mrs.J, J.Williams and Miss Ruth Parker.Entertainers at a Sherbrooke St.Andrew\u2019s Day celebration were Mrs.J.P.Watson, Miss Horton, Miss V.Buchan, Miss Ethel McDonald and Mr.W.Humphries.Prize-winners at a Richmond card party were Mrs.W Blanchard, Mr.W.A.Pare, Mrs.N, A.Dussault and Mr.E, Quinn.Miss Winnie Cummings and Miss Harriett Otis won -he prizes at a euchre party given by Miss Pearl Smith at Coaticook.Vi liât Editors Sav The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Cave the lustre of mid-da}) to objects below.(Continued in Next Issue) Ofxff V ?| V*- V Nt W % Lamm I $V ^\t^ ?, *v- ^NAnniKio r> avc i i V,»-' î ' i u \\s iW/A ?O o\"N\\' Î J f\"\"*.Î AN A' *\t\u2022> I .ftpi\u2019A ! THE FRENCH PRESS COMMUNISM\u2019S NEW CHARTER L\u2019Action Catholique, Quebec.Communism will be just live same after the adoption of the new charter prepared by Stalin.We must bear in mind that Communism is founded upon a philosophy that denies God, the immortality of the soul, the right of ownership and the legitimacy of the family.The \u201cRed\u201d leaders may very well make some concessions to succeed in remaining in power, facilitate the spread of their subversive propaganda, enter the parliament and make inroads into associations of workmen and peasants.But :ve must never forget that these concessions are made in order that the Reds may better establish the principles of their inhuman philosophy.QUEBEC\u2019S MINERAL WEALTH L\u2019Information, Montreal.It must be admitted that until recently the mineral wealth of Quebec has been considerably neglected.It was well known that there were in the northwest of Quebec important mineral deposits.The discovery of Noranda a few years ago had clearly revealed that fact.But for one reason or another our business men were not interested, or very little, in these latent riches.Others concerned themselves in them sometimes, but not w-e.At the outset, mining finance was too long left in the hands of irresponsible people whose sole objective was to get rich quickly.Hundreds of thousands of dollars were thus lost in mining adventures.It goes without saying that with the dollars confidence was likewise lost.In spite of everything, progress was made, but our business men of Montreal remained blind or pretended not to see.Toronto, on the other hand, opened its eyes, with the result that the development of our mining domain, in the course of later years, has been much more profitable to Ontario than to Quebec.Impressions of Europe John Bassett, Jr.LIFE IN BRUSSELS.Brussels seems to spread out in all directions.It is a city of great squares and broad, lovely boulevards, side by side with narrow, ugly and evil-smelling streets.Never have I seen so many statues in a place before.Every hero in the history of Brussels, from a statue of Geoffrey de Bouillon before the Bank of Brussels to a statue of Leopold II, in the Royal Park.One gets the impression of a big city built in the heroic fashion.The houses in Brussels are huge.Great halls and immense rooms are to be found in all the residences.Some apartment houses are now being built, but it is only very recently that this step has been taken.The \u201cGrand Place\u201d is the pride of Brussels, and is a magnificent sight.On one side is the city hall, of which an interesting tale is told.This building was erected about 1670, and is a gem of Gothic architecture.However, when it was completed the great tower of the building was found to be slightly more to the right than it should have been.As a result of the criticism the architect mounted the highest point of the great tower and threw himself into the square below.Opposite the City Hall and on either side of it are great buildings of equal age, and in the centre is the great cobbled square.It gives an impression of great age, and somehow of mystery and decay which is not found at home.Brussels is undoubtedly beautiful and a city of contrasts, with the huge mansions built in a style of years ago and the office buildings following the most modern of building trends.Lovely boulevards, fine roads and, in the lower town, evil-smelling and crooked narrow streets\u2014such is Brussels.Sports j The chief sports in Brussels are 'field hockey and soccer.Soccer is; I the Belgian national game and field j 1 hockey is widely played.But now a craze of ice hockey is | ! sweeping the country.Due to the ! ! energetic efforts of Van Schelle, a j member of the Belgian Olympic bob- \u2022 sledding team, and for years the ! Belgian national swimming champ- \\ ion, ice hockey is being widely ad- j vertised, and the Belgians are eagerly taking up the game.Monsieur; Van Schelle has built two artificial j rinks in Brussels and controls about ten hockey teams.Harry Griffith,1 well known to Eastern Townships sporting circles, is Van Sehelle\u2019s chief mainstay.Together with Tim Clement, \u201cPinky\u201d Downs and Bert Shaw, of Stratford, Ont., lie has produced a team which is the best in Belgium.Crowds of five and six MARRIAGE WILL NOT END CAREER OF OPERA SINGER PREMIER KING\u2019S LONG RECORD.Windsor Star.The stability of the Canadian political system\u2014as contrasted with systems elsewhere\u2014is illustrated by the Hon.J.C.Elliott\u2019s remark at an Ottawa gathering to the effect that Mr.King has been leader of the Liberal party for more than seventeen years.In no other country, the Postmaster-Genera! pointed out, has anyone held a party leadership so long in a period of such troublous times.;-h events so interesting and time passing so rapidly, it is hard to appreciate that Mr.King has carried the responsibility of the Libera! leadership seventeen years.Yet it was in 1919 that he was chosen to succeed the Ri.Hon.Sir Wilfrid Laurier.And he has had a large measure of success, having spent considerably more than half of the seventeen : y«ar.-; as head of the Government and having led the Party through no less than five election campaigns.| His greatest reverse came in 1930; his chief triumph : wa> in 1S33 when he was returned to power with the .argest major y ever given a party leader in the : whole history of the nation.His opponents have sometimes styled Mr.King as Canada\u2019s \u201cluckiest politician,\u201d and, at the same time, sailed his old opponent, Mr.Meighen, \u201cthe unluckisst.\u201d Be this as it may no one can question the abilities of the present Prime Minister.He is a clever man who, :n b;s eany youth, is sa:d to have determined to become head of the Canadian Government and to have shaped his educational carter with that in mind.Few men aim so high and of those who so aim, few indeed reach the goal.Rosa Ponselle Admits She Is Going to Marry Carl A.Jackson, the Beau-Ideal She Met in Quiet and Cultured Baltimore, hut that She Is Not Going to Forsake Grand Opera.Baltimore, Dec.1.\u2014 Romance like a page from a story book has come to lead beautiful Ro§a Ponsebe to the altar, but not away from grand opera.Soon\u2014just how soon she cannot say yet\u2014she will wed tall and handsome Carl A.Jackson, the beau-ideal she found in quiet and cultured Baltimore.But her singing will go on.That much they made clear as Miss Ponselle entertained her husband-to-be yesterday at the Green Spring Valley mansion where she is staying.Said the star of the Metropolitan Opera Company: \u201cAs long as my voice responds as it does\u2014and I hope that will be for many years\u2014Carl intends to let me go on singing.\u201d \u201cAye, captain,\u201d said Jackson, serious-minded, young polo-playing business man.MAGOG On Wednesday, December 2nd, from 4 to 9 p.m., Gerard G.Codere, Optometrist of Sherbrooke, will be in attendance at the office of Dr.O.Dionne with whom reservations may be made in advance.SELLING CHARACTER.Lon Angiele» TfrrM?*.Seeing how propagandists gel; war to nations, how politician; seem to be able to sell any sort of quack nostrum to a gullible citizenry, a local business man asks: Why not sell character to youth by' modern advertising methods?If the same enthusiasm could he put into a :am-paign to impress youngsters that character really counts and that lock of it is the road to disaster it would bring dividends.If the game brains and energy were used to sell character that are employed to ell real estate, automobiles or cigarettes, we might have a smaiier population in San Quentin.Youngstera might come to know the elements of character as they know cars.A few Neon gn* on character might catch the eye of a generation that is out to get all that is coming to i*.Putting more business into character would rti.j.t in mort character in business.Tell All Your Friends to Visit FRASER BROS.THURSDAY and help the V.O.N.This I# Their Day.thousand flock to the matches, and the four Canadians are at present the toast of Brussels.Squash racquets has just been started in Belgium.Lacroix, the Belgian national tennis champion, has organized a club and I saw the first two rounds of their initial tournament yesterday.The chief hindrance to proficiency in sports in this country is that men do not begin athletics until they reach the university.In short they do not being early enough.People The people of the city give one the impression of being somewhat anaemic.On inquiring the reason for this I was told that it was due to the great lack of proper food during the war years.Men who were children in the war years were deprived of sufficient milk, eggs and other dairy products, and1 today they still show the results of this lack of food.Generally speaking, the Belgian women are not attractive.They use a tremendous amount of make-up, and not very skilfully.Politics There is still a tremendous feeling against the Germans.They tell me that they will never forget the horrors of the war.The Belgians lean less towards France and more towards England.They hope to remain neutral in case of war, looking to England to uphold that neutrality.Internally their politics arc enlivened by the feeling between the \u201cWallens\u201d and the \u201cFlemish.\u201d Everything is published in both French aijd Flemish, and to hold a government post it is necessary to speak both languages.Louis Degrelle, the leader of the much publicized \u201cRexist\u201d party, is losing a great deal of his former popularity.I am going to have an interview with him, and will write more of him later.Social Life It seems that every unemployed female in Brussels is a chaperone! The young ladies have nothing like the freedom which Canadian girls enjoy.They are not allowed to go to the movies or to dances until they are engaged.A young lady of nineteen or twenty who is not engaged would never think of going anywhere alone with a man.In Belgium the parents are the law, but this has certain advantages.For instance, when a young couple wish to get married, and if the match is suitable, then the parents of both the boy and girl supply them with enough income, which, added to the husband\u2019s salary, permits them to live in comfort.This arrangement might be advantageously carried out in countries where it is impossible for the youth, due to financial reasons, to marry.And this in brief is a review of the life in Brussels.The people lead a more quiet and sheltered life than we are used to.But, on the other hand, the fine freedom and companionship which we have at home between boy and girl is lacking here.AYER'S CLIFF Bazaar, Conf.Hall, Dec.4th, 5 o\u2019cl.Supper 25c.Biiigo.Free admission.The gentleman walked out of his New York club and called to the man in uniform who was standing in front, \u201cTaxi.\u201d he directed.The man in uniform looked surprised.\u201cI\u2019m sorry, sir,\u201d he stated, \u201cbut I\u2019m not the doorman here.Ira a naval officer.\u201d The gentleman cried; \u201cAll right, then, get me a boat.I\u2019ve got to get home.\u201d RAYON BEDSPREADS Here\u2019s a splendid Christmas gift suggestion Colored rayon bedspreads in gold, pink, blue, green or mauve.4Ç Size 72 x 100\u201d,\t50 1 ill each .ZivU it Size 80 x 100\u201d,\t$0 7K > each .J\t\u2014 Mezzanine.Juat one Christmas gift suggestion among hundreds!
