Labor's downfall was not due to any falling away of its own supporters, but to the eensation throughout the country, based on Labor's treaty with Russia, followed by the - the Third Internationale, and at- tempting to inaugurate. civil war in Great. Britain and corrupt the army and navy. The popular vote; 'rattier than the make-uP of the stew House shows this clearly. So far the .returns from 576 of the 015 constituencies have been tabulated.

Candidates Were Defeated on. October 29. A despatch from London says: - The, Canadian candidates have done very well in this memorable election. Only three of them were defeated. Dr. Thomas MacNamara lost his seat in Northwest Camberwell; Cal. Maurice Alexander failed in his attempt to re- enter politics by winning North Nor- folk for Liberalism; and Canada's only Labor member in the last Parliament, A. W. Haycock, was swept out of his Salford seat by a mighty tide of Con- servative votes. On the other hand, Col. G. Morden increased his. majority in Brentford and Chiswick and Sir Hamar Green- wood succeeded in re-entering Parlia- ment with his victory by 8,000 votes in East Walthamstow. Of the new members, Col. Hamilton Gault, by his success in Taunton, showed that his striking run last year was no mere flash in the pan. His majority is 8,500. The defeat of General Seely, Can- adian cavalry commander during the war, by .Captain Peter Macdonald, descendant of ,Sir John A. Macdonald, was a distinct surprise. Macdonald who was born in Nova Scotia in 1895, was educated at Dalhousie College and Trinity Hall, Cambridge. He is a member of the Inner Temple. He fought. in France and has since held appointments under the Ministry of Transport. He contested the Isle of Wight last .year. • Very creditable, in view of the fact that he returned from Canada only a few days ago, was Col. McDonnell's win in Dartford, where he gained the seat for Conservatism by 766 major- ity, reversing a Labor majority of al- most 3,000. Capt. Herbert P. Holt, son of Sir Herbert Holt, also scored a Conser- vative gain with a majority of 1,967 in Upton Division of West Ham. Dur- ing his campaign he had to reply to many ill-informed criticisms of Can- ada by supporters of Ms Labor oppon- ents tend this he did so well, besides presenting, convincing argumentsfor a return to stability, that he ran up a majority; the size of which was to- tally unexpected. - Adelard Delorme Acquitted, aftereth.ird trial, of charge of murdering half-brother; Raoul De- loran% iu January, 1922.

P. Norgan and • Co: and the bank- ers identified with the $110,000,000 German loan, have placed ,approxi- mately $100,000,000 to the credit of the German Government. The money has been deposited in New York banks subject to the call of Germany, and can be shifted about at, will in this country, or sent abroad .in the form. of gold. Bankers do not anticipate, however, that gold shipments will be made for some time. The. German Government has use for the money here.

Maisons Bank by the Bank of Montreal; announced in an ,official statement. The Molsons Bank, found- ed in Montreal over; 70 years ago, has been in the hands of the commercial and financial family ,group of that name since then. The absorption of the Molsons Bank by the Bank of Montreal is, of course, subject to the ratification by share- holders of both institutions,' but there will not likely be any difficulty in ee- curing it from both groups. The Act- ing Minister of Finance, Hon. J. A. Robb has approved the transaction. The absorption of the Molsons Bank, one of the smaller banks of. the Do- minion, by a stronger bank has been expected on the street for sometime, where it was regarded ae a natural course of events. A'testimony to the stability of Molsons, however, is to be found in the terms of the'abeorption,. the Bank of Montreal giving two shares of its own stock for three of Molsons and a bonus of $10 for every share of Molsons. The shareholders DESTROYED BY GREENOCKHIRE of Molsons will also receive their quarterly dividend, due January 1st, next.

Canada's winters are one of her great natural resources, The; winters that prevail over the greater portion of Canada lock up for practically the entire period from harvest to seeding time the fertility present in the soil: The plant food that °has " been con- verted into available farms during the preceding summer and autumn and, which 'is left aver after the season's growth is retained for the next sea- son's crop. The frost holds tight within Its grasp untold values in plant food. Izt regions where winter condi- tions are absent this 'soluble plant food is "lost by'eacnim; and must be replaced largely by artificial fertilizer. The Canadian winter must therefore be regarded as an agricultural asset of no mean value: Anyone who gives thought to the effect of the bracing. winter atmos- phere upon the health of the people must recognize its value in the rear- ing of a vigoroua and active populace. Canadians are proud of 'their winter sports, :'slcating, hockey, skiing and tobogganing, which make, the blood course rapidly through the veins and bring the bloom to the cheeks of the younger people, while those of more mature years find .their winter recrea- tion in curling.. Canadians notwith- standing that others may think differ- ently, do not hibernate when winter. comes. Canadian winter sports are a dis- tinct asset and are proving an attram tion to .ninny tourists, who come to enjoy with us our winter climate and take part in our winter activities and to renew the energies depleted through residence in countries where the re- cuperating winter climate is absent. Q Frances Burnett, Famous Author, Passes Away Frances Hodgson Burnett, creator of "Little Lord Fauntleroy," died on Wednesday night says a New York despatch. Many years ago the vogue of golden curls and wide lace collars, which the success of her novel and its .adapta- tion as a display inspired, passed: But the book still forces itself upon the shelves of children's books and in the fancy land of children Mrs, Burnett under other names will go on living. She died at 75years of age, in her home, Plandomepark, at Plandome, L.I. She had been ill for several months. Even in her advanced years she kept on writing, and only two months ago the last of her .score of hovels, 'Head of the House of Coombe," was;, published: She had written six plays and was editor of "The Children's Books." "Little Lord Fauntleroy," published in 1886 in serial form in St. Nicholas, a children's magazine, lifted her out of obscurity. It was still her prin- King, Queen and Prince to Watch Baseball Game The first public appearance of the Prince of Wales upon his return home from America will be at a baseball game between the .Giants and the. White Sox, who began their European tour this week says a London des- patch. The Americans are playing three games in London, and the Prince in a cable message, has promised to attend the last of the series, which is scheduled for November 9. The King, the Queen' and Prince Henry also have expressed their in- tention of witnessing the game. It will be the King's first view of the favorite pastime of the Americans and his Canadian subjects since the famous Army-Navy game in London just after the war. Christian Army Entered Pekin Singing a Hymn A despatch from Pekin says: General Feng Yu-Hsiang's Christian troops, which seized Pekin recently to "stop the war," marched into the city singing "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing!" in Chinese. The soldiers, comprising the Eleventh Division, supposedly were at the Je,hol front, but had reversed their advance and reached Pekin by an all -day and all-night march. They entered the capital through the two northern gates, which, by a previously made secret arrangement with Sun . Pao; the emergency defence command erchad been thrown open. Provincial incorporation of the Sas- katchewan Co-operative Elevator Co., Ltd., of Regina and Vancouver, with a capital of $5,000,000, is announced in the British Columbia Gazette. More boots, shoes and slippers were produced in Canada last year than in the year before, according to the re- turns of the Dominion Bureau of Sta. tisties. The number of pairs nranu- factured was 18,067,300, an increase over the previous year of 873,094. The value of production was $45,690,607, an increase of $186,839.
