OTTAWA, 0iit., March iii. The reference to the 31111101110 Court of Canada cnnccrulill: own- erslrlp of watt-r powers on the St. Lawrence and other navigable streams. will be dealt with at the May sittings of the court, it was lcarncrl tonight from an authorit- ativesourcc.

An effort was made to have the hearing of argument deferred until the full term. as the province rf Quebec was not ready to proceed- but it is understood an agreement was reached today to go on two months hence. Tho Dominion Gov- ernment is anxious to have ii pr!)- nouncernent from the highest tri- bunal in the country at thc earliest possible uioiuent. in vlew of the fact that negotiations with the United Sfaltea may be operwil in thc ircar future.

The dispute between thc federal authorities and the government of‘ Ontario and Quebec w_ill eventually be referred to the judicial C0!“- mittee of the pilvl council in Lil-I- dou and not. until the decision 0i that body has been glvcu will the question be regarded as settled.

Men Explained By W Legion.

LONDON. Eng. ‘March 16.v-—Wltl\ reference to the proposed memorial to Field Marshal Earl Halg in the form of groups of rent-free homes, scattered about all over the country for ex-service men. Major J. B. B. Cohen. M. P.. honorary treasurer of the British Legion, outlining the scheme says:- “The idea is that groups of cot- tages. to be called the Douglas Halg Memorial Homes. should be studded all over the country, and that ex- service men, their wives. and fam- ilies. should live in them, either at a nominal rent. or. as I should im- agine myself, rent free. preference being given probably to disabled men. And when the numbers-of ex- servlce men from the Great War become exhausted it is suggested that others who have been in eith- cr of his Majesty's forces should be- come eligible, so that in this way they remain cottages for cit-service men for all time. That there is an urgent need for such cottages is beyond all doubt. and it seems that their provision would be the most. fitting memorial we could find. Lord Haig himself was very keenly alive to the importance of home life. and Lady Haig prefers this proposal for the cottages to any other; she likes the idea vcry much. “As to the number of cottages to be built, that must depend very lar-
