Wanderers intermediate tonight faced a Trinity Excelsior team that was rejuvenated by defeat. The Montrealers blazed out a 32-30 vic- tory ln an evenly fought struggle; but their comeback drive were itself out against the tenacity of the Hali- fax squad without making any per- manently appreciable dent in the twenty point margin rolled up by the Wanderers last night. Halifax won the round snd the intermediate title by a score of 00-51. Tonight's game was one of the most rugged witnessed here in years. Frcnl the tip-off it was apparent‘ that Excelsior». were staging a des- perate rally against the long odds of lsst night's score. Early in the second period, they had cut the lead of the locals in half, but the Wan- derers rapped in five points without a return to use the strain. The second period looked a good deal like English rugby, and it was then that most of the penalties were called. Trinity players were the chief offenders, suffering thirteen penal- ties to Wanderers six. Jim Bus. Trinity centre, was the game's high scorer, finding the basket for seven field goals snd a free throw to hang up fifteen points. Doyle wss out- standing on the Wanderers sniping line with six baskets, and Red Grant landed eleven points on four field goals and three Denali-Y ihfvwl- Jerry Rudderhsm, star of the local squad in lsst night's encounter, was closely marked throughout. Goinl scoreless in the first half, he broke through for two baskets in the sec- ond.

The move is criticized because it is suggested that the in- terests of Canadian farmers have not been studied and because‘ such an exportation will have a gribyous eflect on the Canadian wheat" trade. In some quarters the words “disgust- .ng dumping‘ 'are being employed. Officials of the United States Le- gation here admit that they have heard reports, but they indicate that the farm board has already denied any intention to flood Europe with surplus grain. Nevertheless the news has had repercussions in the Europ- ean grain market where quotations are gradually declining. Moreover, the Amercan announcement is regard- ed as particularly untimely, coming so soon after the recent Home wheat conference, at which the Canadian Commissioner in London who rep- resented Canada, Hon. Howard Fer- guson. made certain proposals which were ‘warmly received and which were expected to lead the way to a world settlement of the wheat cris- is. Mr. Ferguson's scheme it ls be- llevcd, would be endangered and probably wrecked by the lnjudicious unloadng of American wheat in Europe.

Millions of arabs from the Mediterranean to (he Sal-aha have been obliged to discon- tlnlle eating mutton except once a week. Four times in ten years the Algerian flocks have been cut down by drought which leaves the Arab herdsmen without food or water for their flocks. The droughts in i920, 1922 and 1926 cut heavily into the flocks, but not the extent of the present crisis. Last January officials estimated that the herds of Algeria ordinarily counted at 7,000,000 head had been reduced by half. since that date twenty percent more have dis- appeared and the remainder are so thin and week that they cannot be marketed. Conservative estimates show the herds have lost 80 percent of their value. lllllllsllfllli lvicyillll; , (Special to the Guardian) LONDON, April 22-—'Britlsh sub- Ijects are evacuating Madeira. today, according to dispatches from Fun- chal.
