BUILDINGS AN HISTORIC EVENT
Inauguration of Parliament Carried Out With MI the Cere-.
monial and Pomp of Pre''Wa.r Pays---Magilxiicent Interior
of Stately Pile Lends Added Dignity to Brilliant Scene,
A despatch front Ottawa eerie— beautiful gowns, and wide the gal-
leries were taxed with a crewel host
of idle women of \vblcit wore after-
noon dress, there ways an unusual
democratic touelt added to the eVelit
by the •itresence of some eninvited
guests. 'I"hesc wore a m1n111e*' of the
workmen employed on the building.
Unobservable from the floor of the
chamber, they viewed the proceedings
from a position almost on top of the
ceiling, having located thentselvea,be-
tween the marble decorative scheme
near the top 02 the walls and the pole
ing,
The Speech from the Throne was r
short, and format nothing unexpected.
The legislation it lntimatod would be
brought down included a bill to pro-
vide for the. amendment of the Patent
,set, of the Loan /is Trust Companies'
Acts, the Indian Act and the Excheq-
uer Court Act, and a bill to ratify the
International Opium Convention.
The scene on the floor of the 1 -louse,
which for the day was used as the
Senate Chamber, was a brilliant one.
The member's•'' desks )tad not been
placed in position and , all tate avaiI-
able space was filled with chairs.
The striking uniform of the Duke
of Devonshire, the costly evenhlg
dresses and jewels of the ladies, the
crimson and ermine robes of the Jue-
tioes of the Supreme Court, the Wind-
sor uniforms of the Privy Councillors,
the scarlet gowns of the Papal dele-
gates, Mgr. Di Maria, Archbishop
Gauthier and bis assistant, Mgr.
Routhier, the klhalri of the military
officers and tbe navy blue of the naval
officers accompanying his;ixceilency
all added to the richness'and 1k"
hu'esclueuess of the spectacle.
Il1ar11ameet is settled in its now, al•
though uncompleted, home on the Dill.
Tlie opening on Thursday afternoon
was accompanied by the most bril-
liant and most gorgeous display that
perhaps bas ever attended the in•
auguratlollrof a Parliament in Canada.
The ceremonial and pomp, whlch
tradition associates with such an
event, were carried out as in the daye.
Prior to the war, The splendor at.
tubing to the openingwas nior'e
noticeable beoause of the almost to-
tal suspension of social display dur-
ing the war, Then, toe, the limited
facilities in the Victoria -Museum,
Where the law -waken Were aoeonl-
modated since the old building was
'destroyed Sy fire in '1916, did not lend
themselves to any pretentious core.
nnoniaL
The use for the 'nest time of the
new building in, itself was an histori-
cal event which added to the dignity
of the occasion, And the magnificent
interior eitethe sately pile, which is a
1ptonument to diff, young country's eg-
gressiveneee, With its costly marble
walls, and the grandiose Commons
Chamber, with high ceiling and chaste
appeal'auce, provided a background
for a great spectacle.
With all this splendor and the great
social display it was but natural that
tha attendance should be large. There
were hundreds 1010 could not obtain
invitation cards because of the great
demand, and even the fortunate tic-
ket -holders started to gather as early
leo 1 o'clock, While the floor of the
H'ouse was occupied by an assembly
of the political, social and official life
of the nation, with the women wearing

A Letter From L oivioi
When Bing George and Queers Mary
on board the Opllir rr seed the 13que-
tor on their way to Australia, the time-
honored custom of the boarding of
the vessel by ")rather Neptune” and
big satellites was duly observed. And
I am ready to wager that this will be
the rase when the Prince of 'Wales
crosses 'tills lino." I3i'itannia, I re-
member, accompanied "Father Nep-
tune" when he appeared on the Ophir,
and the quaintly-dreased figures were
received in a lltting spirit of solemnity
on the promenade deck.
6 6 Y T
After the Queen had consented to
become one of his "subjects," Father
Neptune proceeded to touch her fore-
head with salt water; and the Royal
Ladies -in -Waiting were likewise made
"ladies-of-lthecsea." The men, from
tine I{ing downri'ards, were treated 1.
less ceremonious fashion. Seated In
a 'chair they were in turn lathered
and "shaven" with a yard -long razor,
and were then, to the intense enjoy-
ment of the ladies, tipped into a can-
vas bath of salt water. .e similar or-
deal awaits the Prince.

I ant told that this is actually a true
story of the Prime Minteter. When
he had boon but two years in'frariia-
ment he was one day being shaved in
e Welsh mining tillage. Several
miners were waiting to be shaved, As
soon as "Ll, G." • ]tad departed, an
aged trainer said:-
-"I
aid.;—"I was not next to be shaved after
that yoing than, but I will gladly pay
for all your "shave$" if you will lot
me sit in that chair after him."
There were no dissentient murmurs.
"Than young man," added the speak-
er, "will one day be Prime Minister,"

Post Office pillar -boxes are not us-

one on which excess of official caution
has set a comical stamp, It stands
by the seashore at Scalloway, iu the
Shetlands, ono of the most northerly
o'f British post -offices. Collections and
distributions of mails in the Shetlands
are governed by weather •and the
tides, and fixed bouts are impossible.

able official plate of white enamel,

BRITISH FINANCE
ON SOUND BASIS
OPINION OF U.S. CI -IAM»
BER OF COMMERCE,
Joint -Co-operation With the
iUraited States Needed to
Save Europe,„
Great Britain 'is fundamentally
sound, both financially and oolnntet'•
oially,
awe the' American Chamber of
Commerce of London in a statement
referring to differences in the finan-
cial position of Great Britain and the
Contiuontal. countries, The chamber
expressos the, belief that the. recent
unprecedented drop in sterling, ex.
change on. America makes. it 'particu-
larly desirable that the beat opinions
on each side of the Atlantic concern -
big this question should -be under-
stood on the other,side:
After aq, thorough discussion with
the leaders of British finance, illumi-
nated largely by the alldresses of the
chairmen of the five leading British
banks to their stockholders in annual
meetieg, the Chamber of Commerce
Ids prepared a message to the Ameri-
can business public. The message fel-
low
"Ths:e collapse of the pound sterling
in New York is, no index to Great Bri-
tain's financial strength or•wcaknese.
London is to -day, as before the war,
the monetary centre of Europe. 'With
inadequate assletance from American
credit in Europe, Great Britain has
been forced, to supply the credit of the
Continent as well a •those of her own
traders.
More Due Britain Than Owed,
"Boiler exchange is really 'New
York -Europe; not 'New York -London'
exchange, Great Britain is neither
bankrupt nor anywhere never it, 'al-
though her external debt Is larger than
ever before in .her history. This debt
was incurred mainly to supply the
needs al her Continental allies and she
is owea approximately twice as much
aa she owes America. While AmerIea
may fairly expect to collect all her
British debt, Great Britain is prepar-
ing to write off 50 per cent. of her
Continental debt. .
"In spite of these facts, British beef -
nese and finance are in a fundamental-
ly sound condition. Business men and
workers are recovering from the de-
moralizing effects of the war, Their
customary energy is reviving and Bri-
tish factories are increasing their out-
put. According to estimates made
public by ono' bank chairman., the pre-
sent year's exports will produce, a
profit of from $1,000,000,000 to $1,50b,-
000,000. The expression, 'We are
rounding the corner' Is now heard on
all sides. Neither British bankers nor
the British Government expect or will
ask further Government or long term
loans from America,
Will Pay Debt to Full.
"One-fourth of Great Britain's debt
is to the United States, It is neither
an easy nor engaging task to try to
express the feeling in the city regard-
ing this. For the most part it is not
mentioned and no banker has been
heard to express any doubt about the
American debt being paid in full.
"British bankers today see clearly
the joint responsibilities of Great Bri-
tain and the United States in helping
the stricken countries of central
Europe to their feet and are accord-
ingly watching with the keenest in-
tereet every move being made by the,
United States to bele solve this, the
greatest business and financial prob-
lem of the hour. Great Britain, they
say, is doing her utmost and shun can-
not do much more.
"The United States helped to save
Europe once and surely site will not
refuse to do so again."
Summarizing the examination of
British banking opinion it has made,
the American chamber reiterates that
Great Britain does not ask credit for
herself, but what she wants is a nor -
n111 world to do business in.
British armies of occupation all
over the world -without counting In-
dian troops, totalled 485,468 at Christ-
mas -time; of these 42,589 were on the
Rhine.

A despatch front London says:—'N e
daolefon not to oust Turkey from, Core
atantlltople was reached by tate Allied
Supreme ()outwit only after long con
sideration of tete' difiloulties In the
Tuticielt situation, Premier Lloyd
George declared in the house 02 Own -
mono on Thursday, when the question
of the future of Turkey was brought
up for debate, The,doeiston, saki the
Premier, was a balance of advantages
and disadvantages, and it was' upon
this balance and after weighing euro•
fully all the arguments pro and eon,.
that 'the Council oonfiladed that, on
the whole, the better course for achiev-
ing
chieveing the continon end was to retain the
Turk in the capital of the Bosphorus,
Referring to the sgt'eomont made
early In the war under which Russia
was to obtain Constantinople,Nlr, Lloyd
George said this agreement had ended,
so far as Russia was concerned, by
the. revolution of 1917, and the peace
of Brest -Litovsk,
Ile reiterated ]ole pledge that there
would be "a different porter at the
gates," however. It would bo the
height of folly again' to trust the
guardianship of these gates to a people
who had betrayed their trust, he de-
clared, and never again would those
galea -be e1.0sed by the 'Turks in tee
fade of British ships.
The Premier referred to the "per-
fectly deliberate• pledge" given by the
British Government 1n January, 1918,
In which it was asserted that Great

raise additional troope.
The influence which had deoeided
the Peace Conference to retain) the'
Turks In Constantinople., the Premier
continued, had come from India, The
two peace delegates of India at Parte,
neither of whom was a.Mohammedan, ,
had declared tb.at Tithes tho allies re-
tained the Turks min Constantinople .
their action would be regarded as a
gross breach of faith on the part of the
British Empire, the Premier' informed
the Houees
Without the aid. of India, Mr, Lloyd)
George pointed out, Turkey could not'
have been conquered, and nothing
could be more damaging to Britlptt
prestige le. .Asia than the feeling that.
Great Britain d1d not steep her word,
He promised, however, that when the'
peace terms were disclosed, they'
would be found drastic enough to
satisfy Turkey's bitterest foe.
Pots From Speech of British Premier
A. despatch from London says: 'When the treaty with Turkey
Is published the greatest enemy of the Ter]; will realize, that ho (Ute
Turk) has been abundantly punished .for his follies, blunders and
.''crimes," said Premier Lloyd George in the Iiouse of Commons on

"Turkey's forts will be dismantled and site is not 10 be permitted

"It has been decided to leave the 'Turks Constantinot5le, but it
would be tbe height of folly to trust the guardianship of the gates

THE UNCROWNED
KING OF ARABIA
"GREAT WHITE GOD" OF
THE ARABS.
How a Young Oxford Student
Warred Successfully Against
the Turks.
•
Five hundred thousand dollars, dead
or alive!
That was tate price put on the bead
oP Col. T. 17, Lawrence, the young Ox-
ford student and linguist, who did
more than any single man to bring
about the conquest of Palestine and
the. downfall of the Turks.
It was Lawrence who raised an army
of 200,000 Arabs, whose dashing war-
fare was a veritable nightmare to the
enemy.
To the Arabs themselves he was
known as "the groat white. God,' and
so highly did they esteem him that
he was given the rank of Enter, equiva-
lent to Prince.
The -story of "The Uncrowned King
of Arabia" (as related by Lowell
Thomas in "Tho Strand Magazine')
roads more like a chapter from the
Arabian Nights than the life -story of
an Englishman, In -1908, when he was i
only nineteen, and before he had
finished his University work, young
Lawrence urged his parents to allow I
him to go to the Near East.
"At the time," says 1111-. Thomas, "he
was engaged in writing a book on the
military architecture of the Crusades,
and he wanted to go over elle actual
ground covered by the Crusaders. )Ifs
family finally gave him permission
and 2100.
"As soon as he arrived in Syria he
adopted native costume and tramped
barefoot over thousands of miles of
