J. H. Stainton, based his ser mon on. the book “Cry Havoc” by Beverley Nicols. The writer places much of the blame for fomenting war scares and stirring up strife be tween countries upon armament firms who supply the munitions and implements of warfare. He draws attention to the fact that the great armament factories were not raided during tho war and had they been raided the war would have ended muck sooner. I-IO blames tho failure of the nations to disarm on the propaganda spread by tho concerns who profit from war at the expense of human life.

PLASTER CAST REMOVED The many friends, of Mr. L. V. Ho garth, who for several months has been in a plaser cast at the Christie Street Hospital, Toronto, following an operation on his spine, will be delighted to know that the cast has at last been removed and that an X-ray examination reveals a perfect graft. The operation upon Mr. Ho garth was one of the marvels of surgery, and was performed Novem ber 20th. It consisted of removing a small portion of tho spine that had become diseased and replacing it with a portion of bone removed from the leg. It was then neces- cary to be placed in a plaster cast and await the results. Owing to Mr. Hogarth’s otherwise fine physi que he lias made a remarkable re covery. The doctor in charge states that he has never seen any one do as well. If the present pro gress keeps up Mr. Hogarth should be home in about three months, During his stay in the hospital he has boon visited by numerous friends from Exeter. (Mr. Hogarth states that it feels mighty good to be back again on a mattress.
