MacDonald of Hali- fax presiding. Mayor Clarence Mill- er and Don. F. Fraser, member of the Provincial Legislature for Pic- tou, welcomed the delegates to Ne\v Glasgow.

Mayor Miller suggested that in view of the visit of Prime Minister J- Ramsay MacDonald, 1c would be fitting to puss a resolution advo- cating peace and world disarma- merit.

Mrs. Edithe Florence Kelley, President of the Association of Re- bekah AssPmblies, Roseburg, Ore- gon, addressed the delegates brief- l

Mr. Blackstone is summering in the Maritlmes, and yesterday hr- rived in Charlottetown, only to find the stores closed for the afternoon, and the city apparently dcscrtrfl. A local curlo shop profited by this misfortune, for Mr. Blackstone is a keen enthusiast about antiques. He left, a tidy sum virith the curlo denier for some rare pieces of crockery.

Reach Accord Re Monetary

(A. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

LONDON, Aug. 8-It was indic- ated tonight in official circles that a monetary exchange pact will probably be signed within 10 days with Germny.

It was understood the agree- rnent will enable Germany to ob- tain much needed materials, such as cotton yarns, on advantageous terms.

German importation of British cotton has been cut off because of the inability of German buyers to meet exchange difficulties.

It was stated Germany, through the Reichsbank, will agree to turn over part of the foreign exchange owing to it here to British creditors having unpaid debts in Germany.

Recent negotiations have centred in Berlin.

tal. Authorities said picketing was il- legal since there was no strike at the shop.

Tlhree pickets were injured in Cambridge when 50 of them were disbanded by police at the Massach- usetts Parlor Frame Company. Jo- seph Mellen, Treasurer of the firm. said astrlke had been in progress for more than a week, following the discharge of four men because of the slack season.

Mlajor T. P. Richards Re-visits Province After 47 Years - S e c o n d Trans-At- lantic Crossing.

Returning to visit, friends in Prince Edward Island after an ab- sence of forty-seven years, Major T. P. Richards, Swansea, Wales, arrived in port in his trim 40 ton yacht “Lexia" about 5 o'clock last evening, after completing a trans- Atlantlc cruise. Accompanying him are retired naval officers, Vice-Ad- miral Thomas Hollett, I-Ion. B. Wyndham Quinn, and Count R. Metza. The crew also includes two paid men. ’

Major Richards is the son of '1‘. P. Richards, who was one of the leading ship owners of Sivanssa, came out to this province 47 years ago to visit his uncle, Hon Wil- liam Richards, during the winter. At that time he met Col. A. E. Ings, with whom he renewed ac- quaintance on arrival here and. who will entertain the visitors while they are here.

The yacht made the trans-At- lantic trip by stages. The party left the Isle of Wight for the Azores on June 1'1, and arrived thirteen days later. The voyage from the Azores to St. John's, Newfound- land. Fine weather prevailed most. of the way, but during the last three clays the yacht sailed through dense fog and encountered ice- bergs. Having sailed around to St. Georges Harbour, the party spent several days fishing salmon. The roughest part of the whole trip was experienced between St. Georges and North Sydney, as head winds made the croming difficult. At Syd- ney the party met Prirfie Minister Ramsay MacDonald and his daughter. From Sydney the yachts- men proceeded through Bras d'0r Lakes, the Straits of Canso, thence to Charlottetown.

On Friday the party will leave

America/s Cup They will not re- main for the international races. however, but. will leave direct for home in order to avoid the rough weather of September.

The visitors expressed enthus- iasm regarding the view they had obtained of the coast, as they were passing through the Straits.

"The red soil resembles that of the low parts of the Devortshirte coast." remarked Count R. Metza.

"It was certainly different from crossing between Cape Traverse and Tormentine in an iceboat,“ said Major Richards, referring to an experience of his first visit to the Island.

“The last ship that Admiral l-laliett commanded was 40.000 tons, this one is 40.”

This trans-Atlantic cruise in not; the first ocean cromlng the “Lexia" has made. Two years ago she crossed to the British West Indies, vLsiic-d various islands and Florida, and took part in n yacht race bc- iwcen New York and Bermuda, placing ninth among twenty-eight contestants.

The machine, the former "Sea- farer II" in which James Mollison and his wife, Amy Johnson, at- tempted to take-off for the same flight last year, was overloaded by 2,750 pounds. The Mollisons crack- ed up without injury. When Ayling and Reid took over the plane they provided more power and effected other improvements.
