One of the leading en in the Canadian Evangeliance went to London and case before the Colonial Sec == retary and Prime Minister of England. Thev told him that Canada must settle the dispute without help from Downing street because her Majesty, Queen Victoria, numbered among her loyal subjects more than three hundred million orientals,who professed polygamy and practiced it whenever a man could afford the luxury of more than one wife. Her Majesty's Imperial government could not afford to create unrest in India by excluding Mormons from Canada whether they practiced polygamy or not.

Berlin will try to offset British * efforts to win the confidence of the Arabs and the Turks. German at- a tempts to start back fires in India, Afghanistan, Persia, Egypt and Northern Africa have failed. We f have seen similar attempts to create , distrust of the United States in Latin American countries. The situation in the Tampico oil field has again become critical, so Americans can appreciate what the British Govarnment is doing to win over the peoples of the East whom Germany is trying to turn against our allies. | UNION HIGH SCHOOL NOTES J < ?- A a. i!
