Eloquent Address At Rotary Club By Rev. Dr. Bonnell.

Rotarlans yesterday were privil- eged to hear an eloquent address by Rev. J. Sydney Bonnell, D. D.. formerly of this city and now pas- tor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyter- ian Church in New York.

At the outset Dr. Bonnell stated that last summer he was one oi a party of fifty educationists and oth- ers who toured Germany, Russia. Austria, France and other parts o! Europe in order to get first hand information concerning economic conditions in the countries which they visited.

The speaker declared that we are too close to the events that are transpirin; in the world properly to appraise them. We should have to g0 back to the fall of the Roman Empire, to the Renaissance or the industrial revolution to find a par- allel to the happenings of our day.

Dr. Bonnell who spent three months last summer travelling in the continent of Europe, told of five nations that he had visited in which the palaces of kings and emperors had been turned into pub- lic museums.

OTTAWA, Aug. 1i). - Changing their plans at the last minute On- tario's relief treklkers tonight called oil their scheduled parade but served all ultimatum on the city authorities that unless they were provided with transportation to their homes the parade would take place tomorrow night.

In defiance oi police orders the trekkers had intended to march from their camp at Plouiie Park to Lansdowne Park where the Central Canada Exhibition is in progress. They proposed to enter the grounds and hold a. meeting in the midst of the fair so that their speakers could reach a wider audience,

A squad oi’ city policemen were on hnnd at the time set for the par- iide and Police Chief Emile Joliat had announced leaders of the par- ade would be arrested. The trekkers held a meeting and afterwards their loaders announced to the i-rowd the parade had been called off.

At the some time, with the police- men present, they denounced the oificers as “hoodlums and booze- hounds." “tools of the capitalist class who would sell their grand-

mothers for the miserable pittance they receive."

Swept by cooling breezes from harbour and river, the grounds, and more particularly the area included in the driving park and grand stands were as cool as any place to be found on the Island. For this reason, officials predict new attendance records for each day of the fair.
