He con- tinued'in that position throughout the war and the reconstruction period. He. became Secretary of State for Foreign physicians had been with him through- out the night.

Meanwhile ho had risen two more steps in the peerage, to an Earldom and then to a Margtiisate. • It was at that time that his ac- cumulation of honors operated against Lord Curzon in his ambition to become Prime Minister. When Bonar Law retired in 1923 there was" beside Lord Curzon only one other man regarded as likely for the post, Stanley Bald- win. Weighing in opposition to Cur- zon was the new tradition against appointing as Premier a peer who could not meet attacks on the Govern- ment in the House of Commons, hence Mr. Baldwin, a commoner, received the place. Lord Curzon remained in the For- eign Office in the Baldwin Govern- ment. He went to Lausanne to lead the Allies in making their peace treaty with the Turks. SECOND EARTHQUAKE SHAKES OLD QUEBEC Shock Was of "Marked Inten- sity" Causing Considerable . Quebec, March 22. -Alarm was caused to the overwrought nerves of people in various parts of the Province of Quebec yesterday morning when an earth tremor which swayed buildings and rattled or shook loose dishes and furnishings raised apprehensions that the experiences of therecent exten- sive quake which caused large damage in this part of the continent were to be repeated. So. -far as reports tell, however, the tremor was quite slight and' no damage was done except to _nerves. Interruption of telephonic commun- ication in some places was attributed to the quake. The disturbance started at 10.22 a.m. and lasted upwards of 30 seconds but it was not generally THIRTY .FIVIIL NES EMBARK FOR CANADA Vanguard of British Settlers.
