The text of the invitation was telephone early this afternoon from the French Embassy at London. Quai Dorsay officials, while unwill- ing to divulge the terms in which the invitation is expressed. recorded one step in advance of general and previous opinion by stating that there was not likely to be any ob- jection on the part of France to the conference being held in LQIIdOIL

The task in this case, said French officials, is rendered all the more dif- ficult by the fact that those who are calling this conference will still rc- main the greatest naval powers. France has no intention of chall- enging that power, but she believes she is within her rights in seeking for the present to keep what she considers a navy sufficient. for the security of her overseas possessions.

Massachusetts Objects to Invasion By New York Police-—N. B. Relatives Learn of Death-Capt. Wm. Mehaffey, Killed In New York, Was Na. tive of Sackville.

i;

BOSTON’, Oct. li-The arrest of William G. Baker, Nova Scotia cap- tain of a Boston-bound tug alleged to have murdered Captain William Mehaifey, a native of Sackville, N. 3., in New York, which was made by officials of the New York police department from a seaplane at the entrance of the capo Cod Canal, has been declared illegal and Massachus- etts authorities are planning to pro- test.

The trial performance of the ef- ficiency of airplane pursuit is not destined to be- followed by any per- manent policy which will disregard the boundary lines of the State oi New York and the limits of state water.

"I understand that these flying

policemen were not armed with any warrant and that none of them was an oyewitnesa of the aiieled crime. of course they had absolutely no legal outlwrity to make an arrest in Mass- achuletts.

TORONTO, Ont. Oct. iL-One of thefirst meninCcnada to enlist for service overseas ‘back in 1914 and the last to return in June of this year, Major James A.
