Colorful S c e n e On Montreal W a t e r - front As 5,000 Em- bark On Trans-At- Iantic Voyage.

MONTREAL, Juliy 16-(OP)... scmewhere in the st. Lawrence River Canada's pilgrims to vimy Ridge steamed taward the open sea tonight—-more than 5,000 of them aboard four ships; that left Mont- real at high noon with the greatest sendoff this harbor has ever seen.

Another vessel, the Duchess of Richmond. leaves tomorrow with 1.- mo pilgrims to the unveiling of Canada's Great War mcmtrial on Vim!’ R-idea July 28. but this move- ment today had no parallel in the hLstory of Montrcai‘s waterfront.

Cheering crowds took’up every foot of ground along the harbor front to wave "b:n voyage" to the departing pilgrims and every ship in the harbor, every dredge and tug. joined in I blasting farewell of whistles.

In fact every floating thing that boasted a whistle, even some steam derrick: and scoop shovels of the harbor commission, joined in the farewell to the Montr:se. the Mont- calm, the Ascanil and the Antonio as they put out into the harbor.

From portholes, decks and even the tops of iifeboats the Canadian veterans. war widows, war mothers and «the veterans‘ wives and chil- dren waved back their answer as the breeze caught the pennants hung on each vessel from stem to stem.

The emlbariratizn started in the ray hours of down when 13 trains

rought the pilgrims into Montreal.

From their trains more than 5.000 of them were transported to the dockside and the waiting ships and went up the gangplanks.

On the decks they clustered. those first ones to board the boats. and watched the others who f:]low- ew. some of them walked, some of them limped on crutches.

Others never saw the milling crowds and some of them didn't hear the martial music they knew so well In tllcso war—torn years. They were the ones that haven't seen or heard since they came home.

But it was a happy scene. preg-

"I looked half-left and then half- right, and there, quite near me, was a man with a gleaming revolver in his hands.

"My heart was still, but my legs were not. I lunged forward and struck blindly at the weapon. it went sailing through the air."

Recall Attacks On Lives Of "u:'*i

(C. P. by Guardian‘: Special Wire) LONDON, July 13——Pormer at- tempts on the lives of members of the British Royal Family were recalled tonight by London news- papers, which devoted columns to the story of the man who aimed a. revolver at King Edward. It was recalled that five attempts were made upon the life of Queen Victoria between the years 1840 and 1889, and one in 1882. King Edward VII, grandfather of the present King, was never at- tacked in England. But in 1900. 3 year before he came to the throne. a young anarchist named sipld: fired at him as he sat in a train at Bnissels. . The bullet smashed the window of the railway carriage and miss- ed the then Prince of ‘W119; by inches. Unpertulbed, the Prince lit a cigar and pleaded for clemency for the assailant. The first attempt on the life of Queen Victoria occurred almost at the same spot as today's attempt. It was June 10, mo. The Queen and Prince-Consort Albert were driving along Constitution Hill in an open carriage. A crazy potboy named Oxford fired two pistols. The shots passed close to Prince Albert’s head. Arruted. Oxford feigned mad- nols. He was acquitted on grounds of insanity and spent 40 years in sodium. the Holpitnl of St. Mary of Bethlehem which was used as Ii

_lumtio asylum. Afterwards he was

sent to Australia. where he become I house pointer.

Two years later there were two nttenvps. by I man called Francis and by a hunchback named Benn. who were found to be insane. In 1800 a half-pay officer coiled Pate attacked Queen Victoria with a stick. in me an Irish boy named O'Connor pointed a plltoi at Her Majesty in It. James’: Park. Flog- ging was ordered in both thus ones but the pllnlslnuent was re- mitted at the requut- of Queen Victoria. Elho sent 0’Oonnor to Australia at her own expense. me last attempt on Queen Vic- toria's life was made at Windsor in 1882 by a madman called Inc- Lean, who fired at the Queen as she left the station.

OSSINING, N. Y., July 16-—Mrs. Frances Creighton and Everett C. Applegate were electrocuted to- night for the egg nog murder of Applegatds wife, Ada.

Mrs. Creighton preceded her al- leged lover to the electric chair. Two matrons and three guards wheeled her in in a wheel-chair.

She apparently was unconscious

when brought into the death house. Guards and matrons quickly

formed a protective screen around her, linking arms. she was, Dio- nounced dead after the cunent. had been on two minutes.

Applegate walked to the chair’. unaided. He turned to the wit- nesses and said:

"Before I died, gentlemen. 1 want to say I am absolutely inno- cent of this crime. I pray that God have mercy on the soul of Martin W. Littleton of Nassau County (the prosecutor) who handled the case."

SEND PROTEST T0 H _|_TLER

(C. P.-Haves) (By Guardian's Special Wire)

BERLIN, July 16. — The German Pl'c‘.:stant confessional church to- night sent a protest to Chancellor Adolf Hitler against Null Anti- semitism and the "ungodly" attit- ude of the Reich political leadership toward the church.

"We demand for our people free-

dom to march toward the future under the Cross of Christ, so that some day children will not curse their fathers for having built a state on earth which will keep them from the Kingdom of God," the memor- andum. sent to Hitler by 10 leading Protestant pastors, said.

The memorandum, kept secret by the government, was forwarded by Hitler to church Minister Hans Kerri.

The leaders of the “Nazi revolu. tion" have declared that in their triumph over Bolshevism they have destroyed the enemy of the church. it polnte_d out. Nevertheless the anti-clerical battle has never been so intense since 1918, the note dc. clared.

Leadin personages of the state find ihcjlarty are attacking the church openly, it charged, and ask- ed. whether this attitude was to be- come the Reich government's of- ficial policy.

The Pastors also attacked "the a.nli—Christian’ interpretations of P05“-lvc Christianity contained in the National Socialist program."

The so-called paclfication of the church undertaken by the Minister of Cults consists of making the church subservient. to the state and deceiving the German people, the pastors charged.

The Hitlerite youth chiefs scoff at the Confessional Church and desimv the faith of children, they claimed. “In one labor camp divine service on Good Friday was fox-bgd- don," they said.
