SIR ROBERT BORDEN

The announcement that an i'm.
perial conference is likely to be held
in London next summer. and that the
project has been the subject OF cor
respondence between the British and
Canadian governments is regarded by
Canadians generally as giving consid-
cradle significance to the persistent
references, In Sir Robert Borden's re-
cent speeches, to C%anada's unsatis.
factory status In the British empire
in respect OF foreign affairs.
In the very first speech which the
prime minister delivered after the
outbreak Of the wal he made II clear
that in his opinion the wal and the
various issues which II raised EN-
phasized the undeslrability OF the
overseas dominions being without the
slightest voice or influence in the
management Of the foreign affairs Of
the empire. This point he has re-
iterated. emphasized and elaborated
on in a series OF addresses.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
COLONIAL THEATRE.
THE PIoughshare," Mammoth Four
Reel Edison Special Feature.

This spectacular story of the south,
with its many charms, is the four
reel feature at the Colonial theatre to-
day. 1t is presented by mammoth
cast which features Augustus Phillips,
the faVOrite of the Colonial patrons;
Robert CONFESS, the distinguished man
of many parts; Gertrude Mccoy, a
dainty little woman whose wonderful
work has pushed her to the front ranks
of motion picture actresses; Bessie
Learn, the big-eyed, starry girl who
plays Innocence" so well, and others
the first four-part Edison feature that
has been released by the Edison COM
pany in some time, and it will be well
coined by all the patrons of this cosy
theatre. The story tells of two broth
ers, one of whom inherits a vast south
ern estate by the death of his father.
The brother is not SO well liked as
the heir and the slaves dislike him
especially, as he is but the half broth
er of the popular boy. Twenty years
later the popular son is elected gov
ernor of his state and the scenes shift
to the environments of the capital.
Members of the most select social sets
adopt the governor and make the lion
CT the season of him. His half broth
er meanwhile gets in with set not
so desirable, and is found in all sorts
of trouble. He directly opposes his
brother in his love affairs, and is the
cause of many hearta cheS in the fe-
male set. Terrible things follow him
in his pursuit of happiness and the
governor is thrown into never ending
anxiety because of his actions. The
outcome of the story is told in a bril-
liant and convincing manner in the
balance of the film, and it is sure to be
a feature of more than ordinary in
terest. Neal of the Navy in two parts

Christmas night at the First Meth

was decorated with evergreen and two
large trees at either end of the altar

pastor and family were generously re-
membrd by a numbr of gifts and a
substantial sum of money. Some of
the gifts were surprises of a pleasing
nature and caused merriment, but the
child-heart of the school was made
glad and sincere gratitude beamed
from many eyes. An efficient commit

presents and others aided in numerous
