Returning travellers from foreign lands-and there have been scores this season-bring back vastly vary ing views of conditions and situations lover There" since the great World war.
 Some of these travellers sec the gay, frivolous, insouciant life of the Parisienne centers; others see the sombre. heart-breaking, pathetic life of the ruined and devastated regions of Europe; still others see a combi- nation of the gay and the pathetic, while others add to this an intellec- tual viewpoint of the great historic centers of interest and people of note.
 Our good fellow citizens, MT. and Mrs, Priestly Toulmin, who have ra- gently returned from a three months delightful visit to Europe, bring back with them q most charming Kaleidoscope viewpoint of their travels. combining many angles, di- versified and delightful.
 Both Mir. and Mrs. Toulmin are deeply interested in things worth while-books and music and beauti- fui paintings and historic cathedrals and world famous chateaux, and they visited these as well as many out-of- the way spots in their pill srimage through France, where they spent five weeks; Belgium. one week. and five weeks in England; places that the average tourist cares very little for. and skins over." with rather an indifferent air-all of which makes up unique vista to the stay-at-homes, who must see Eu- rope through the eyes> of their friends.
 Mir. and Mrs. Toulmin collected some of the most interesting photo graphs l have ever seen brought back from Europe; not postcards. but beautiful photographs-made in the most artistic manner. stunning scenes, minute in detail, views of the handsome Rheims cathedral. the Arc de Triomphe, and many "hefore- the war scenes as we'll as those during the war. all of which reveal the most interesting details.
 MT. and Mrs. Toulmin counted among their great pleasures abroad being present at the international golf games in England-being num- bsred among the few Americans in attendance, while thousands of> Brit ishers saw their teams go down in defeat to our own Americans.
 In speaking of his trip few days ago. Mr. Toulmin. who since his son. Priestly Toulmin, Jr.. returned frem the war. has entertained great de- sire to go to Europe and visit the battlefields and scenes where his son was ensoged in the great fight for democracy and humanity's welfare, !, said in reply te my question qz tV what was the most thrillinf thin9 he saw-the most thrilling and the most effective-without hesitancy:

It was a thrilling moment to me as steos there perhaps the most thrilling and impressive mo- ment that I experienced all during our travels"
 Arriving in Paris, during the early part of April" MT. Toslmin said, Mrs. Touimin and found at
 
 once some cousins of Mrs Toulmin's who had taken a house at Versailles for year. We passed many happy hours with them, and on one occasion had the pleasure af lunching there with Monsieur Paul Miliukof1 tho leader of Russia's social democratic party, He, of course, Is an exile ffNA his own country and Is now livtnG ~ Paris, editing 2 paper in the RuasiaA' language. which has for its ob1ect the dissemination of anti-BolsAevif propaganda.

The announcement that a second Grand

safe when they found they had not been
indicted.
All to-day deputy sheriffs armed with
warrants issued in connection with the

not be found. From the Attorney-G Cen
