PREMIER BORDEN
TELLS OF CANADA'S
FRIENDSHIP
Saws Relations with United States Were
Never More Firmly Founded on Good
Understanding Than at the
Present Time.

New York. Dec. 24.--Sir Robert Laird
Borden, the Canadian premier, addressed
the Pilgrims Society of New York at a
luncheon here yesterday on relations be-
tween Canada and the United States and
between Canada and Great Britain.
| The relations between the dominion
and the United States, the premier be-
lieyed, were never more firmly founded
on true understanding and sincere good
will, than at present.; and as for Can
ada and the mother country, he said,
they were never so closely united in
ideal, inspiration and effort" as at the
present time.
In part, Sir Robert spoke as follows:
"From ocean to ocean across this con-
tinent runs a boundary line of nearly
four thousand miles entirely unguarded
on either side. Upon the Great Lakes
for more than a century the armed forces
OF each country have been reduced to a
point which forbids the thought of ag-
Qression. The agreement which accom-
plished so great result was made be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States fifty years before the Canadian
federation came into being. Ii is en-
bodied in few letters exchanged be-
tween their diplomatic representatives
and it can be terminated upon six months
notice But for a hundred years it has
held good and | believe it win always
hold good. Does it not mark an i'm
pressive epoch in the relations of the two
During the past half century or more
those relations have on the whole been
intimate and friendly; during the past
twenty-five years they have steadily i'm
proved, and / believe they were never
more firmly founded on true understand
ing and sincere good will than at present.
At times situations have arisen which
proved difficult and delicate, il not dan
gerous; and they demanded forebearance,
restraint and the most attentive con-
sderation Of the others viewpoint. All
honor TO the statesmen who so guided
the affairs of either country as 20 pre-
vent the awful calamity OF war between |

ARGUMENTS
| FOR ONLY TEN
Counsel Will Make No APP
peal for Rookie
Teller
EXPECTS PLEA TO
BRING DISMISSAL
Only One Through Entire
Period a Director in
New Haven

New York, Dec. 24.--No argument for
the dismissal of the indictment against
William Rockefeller individually will be
made by his counsel at his trial with 10
other former directors of the New York,
New Haven 4 Hartford railroad on the
charge of conspiring to monopolize com
merce under the Sherman antitrust law.
This became known yesterday when
Judge Hunt inquired, while hearing in
dividual argument for other defendants,
how many more there were to be heard.
Counsel for two responding brought the
total number to be heard to 10, and 1T
was then learned that Richard V. Linda
bury. counsel for Mr.. Rockefeller, did
not intend to make an individual plea
for his client. He will rest his chances
on the general plea already made for
the dismissal of the entire case. Mr..
Rockefeller is the only one OF the de-
| PENDANTS whose tenure of office as a New
Haven director has extended through
out the entire 25-year period Of the al
legged conspiracy and the only partici-
pant in alleged unlawful acts committed
long before most of his fellow defend
ants became directors.
Judge Hunt at the morning session
heard argument in behalf OF Charles I.
Brooker. Pleas for ID. Newton Barney
and Edward D. Robbins were heard in
the afternoon, after which the court
heard the answer OF government counsel.
Judge Hunt indicated that he would
entertain motion to strike out por
tion of the governments testimony
against BROKER, having to do with the
alleged suppression Of trolley line COM
petition. This consisted Of letter writ
ten to BROKER by the late John NJ. Hall,
former president of the New Haven, re-
questing him to use his influence with a
Connecticut legislator to prevent the
construction of trolley line. Mr.. Dorr
raised the point that the line was not
mentioned in the indictment. Judge
Hunt said that was in accord with his
recollection and that he would strike the
letter out If, after examining the record, |
such proved to be the case.
Mr. Brooker, president of the Ameri- |
can Brass company and former member |
of the Republican national committee,
was longer member of the New Haven /
directorate than any other defendant on
trial with the exception of William
He joined the board in 1894.
Beginning with that date his attorney
took up seriatum the various acquisi
tons made by the New Haven and
sought to show the court the benefits
that ensued, and argued that BROKER,
IN voting for these acquisitions was in
spired by practical business common
sense" There was nothing in the evil
ience to show, the lawyer maintained,

IS POUNDS OF BLOOD

Is the average quantity in healthy
adult, but it is the quality Of the blood
that determines our strength TO resist
sickness. With weak blood we find
cold hands and chilly feet; in children
an aversion to study, and in adults
rheumatic tendencies.
In changing seasons get abundant
fresh air and take a spoonful Of SCOTS
Emulsion after meals, because SCOTS
Emulsion is a rich bloodfood that will
increase both quantity and quality of
the blood while il warns the body and
helps carry off the impurities.
When multtudes Of people are to-
day taking SCOTS Emulsion TO avert
winter sickness, and are giving it TO
their children, il is careless TO neglect
its benefits. Look out for substitutes.

war and the awful responsibility of those
who forced it upon the world.
1.-THE outbreak of hostilities found us
utterly unprepared with military forces
adequate for the vast operations which
were Immediately found necessary. New
er perhaps, not even in the stress which
came upon this republic more. than half
century ago. has the capacity of de-
mocracy been so thoroughly and search
ingly tested. We were called upon to
meet the assault of the greatest military
power ever known in the world, a highly
efficient, thoroughly organized and deter
mined people, trained to arms, magnifi-
Gently equipped, provided with every mil.
| tary necessity and so industrially or.
! ganized that the whole force of the ma
tion could be thrown behind the blow
which it struck.
| armies cannot be organized and
trained, nor munitions provided in a day.
The task has been difficult but the effort
has been great. 1t would not have been
undertaken nor could it be accomplished
except for the most intense conviction
of a righteous cause and the firmest de-
termination to make it prevail.
Without pausing to speak OF the
mighty influence which this war must
exercise upon the worlds future, I may
be permitted to express my conception
of what it will accomplish for the closer
unity of our empire. Never before have
the mother country and the various do
minions and dependencies been so close
" united in ideal, inspiration aud effort
as in this conflict In hospitals and con-
vol acna,st haHnac hnrnud ha II ha ~
many times met men from the British
islands from Australia, New Zealand and
Canada brought together in close asso-
ciation and comradeship. each learning
the better to realize their empire, and
all united in a conn determination to
do their duty in It's war to the end.
One can hardly eNaggcrate the immense
advantage of such association and blend
ing of the empires manhood.
"AlI war is tragedy and this war the
greatest tragedy the world has ever
known. We all pray for the day when
"The roaring of war shall cease upon the
air.
Failing Of tears and al the voices OF
sorrow; but it Is cry peace,
peace. when there is no pcarc. The ideals
involved in this conflict are wholly ir-
and until one of them final
ly prevails no peace can be enduring
However hard the struggle may be and
whatever sacrifices il may entail, the Ca
madam people win not shrink from the
test. They are a peace-loving and not
militarist people. but their conception II
the cause for which they are fighting is
such as to animate them with the stern
est resolve TO make ii triumphant"

ITCHING NEARLY
DROVE A WHOLE
FAMILY CRAZY

Kansas City, NO., Oct. "a, 1ol4,--
my husband had rash all over his
body, and soon the WHOLE FAMILY
was in the same condition. II looked
scaly and raised up on the arms and
body in big bumps. This trouble
burned and itched 80 that II would
nearly drive one crazy. 1t was always
worse at night, SO we could not sleep.
We all had this trouble for about two
or three years, and during that time
tried many remedies and prescriptions
with no results. We tried Resinol ONT
ment and Resinol Soap and it RE-
LIEvED AT ONCE, and before the
third jar OF ointment had been used, we
were all completely cured. 1t has been
four months since we were cured, and
there are no traces of the trouble
(Signed) Mrs. s. A. Clarkson, 1920
Lawn Ave.
Every druggist sells Resinol ONT
ment and Resinol Soap, and physicians
have prescribed them for 20 years in
the treatment of skin troubles.

Judge Hunt, in the course of the at
torney's argument, conceded that moral
obliquity is not necessarily involved in
the statute. BY this ! mean" he con
timed, that moral turpitude may be
entirely out of the case as distinguished
from malignant heart, perverted
mind, or a wilful determination to cheat
or steal Always, however, there must
be found in proof of conspiracy, the
purpose to violate the law, either reck-
lessly to disregard the law, or intention
ally to violate its provisions"
