Great Mems Love Letters
RICHARD WAGNER TO MINNA

Richard Wagne5 whn wrote the greatest of music love drama, by singular coincidence seems to have been very unfortunate in love him. self. While living in Dresden in 1926, when he was only thirteen years of age, he fell in love. he says in his own story of his life, with Amalia Hoffman This was followed by many other little brushes" of the heart be- fore he met WilheImine Plauer, and married her in Konigsberg on Novem- Der A, 1886. This was an impremptu marriage, and affected Wagner's life most seriously for almsot twenty-five years.
 Miinna, as he delighted to call her, was an actress Richard Pohl says of her: She was a faithful, self -sacri- ficing wife, who bore with Wagner long and devotedly all cares and pri- Wations, in Paris, even to bitterest poverty. But she was prosaie, do- mestic woman, who never understood
 her husband, and who might have been an impeachment to his far reach
 ing ideas, his high flying plans, if Richard Wagner could have been i'm peded in his course by anything: The natural thing was that they separated many years later, it is true. Twenty five years this ill-mated pair lived to- gether and sought to get along.
 But it is said that Wagner always held the memory of his first wife in
 great respect, and that he was no doubt devoted to her is shown in his letter. The following one was writ ten to Minna on July 2S, 1922, when Wagner had reached Dresden and was busily preparing for the production of his opera ''Rienzi" He had rented a house and was disappointed at her tardiness in arriving:
 Best wife of Mine: I was just busi- ed with my moving in yestreday when | 1 received your letter in the new apart ments. It makes me very sad to think 1 you mean to leave me still alone SC i long. Dear Minna, we absolutely ought not to be parted for long. What you

CANADA HOLDS UP ST. LAWRENCE PLAN

The announcement of the Canadian Premier, Mackenzie King, that the do- minion government did not consider the present Ian oppoTtune time" to nego tiate a treaty with the United States, providing for the joint construction of the proposed St Lawrence waterways, as requested by President Harding, came as distinct surprise to those who have been aggressively pushing the project in Washington, writes H. G. Andrews, associate director, Institute of American Business.
 Yet, no other reply could have been expected from Canada, had Governor Allen, Senators Lenroot and Kellogg, and others active in advocacy of the St. Law developments in the dominion as they have toward committing the United States to it's share of the bargain.
 O. dddddddd ananwill unInuch of xpxpxp The fact is-as has been known for a, ! long time by those in touch with Cana 1 dian affairs-that Canada has never been | very heavily "soId' on the St. LaWrance 1 idea. The project has there never reach- | ed the stage of national discussion which ! it was assuming in the United States it i had neither the local agricultural sup port nor the aggressive leadership which
 was rapidly bringing the question to i the stage of a; major American political l issue.
 To the Canadians. the St. Lawrence project has always been water power rather than a navigation issue. They have not suffered from railroad cenges- | ton as the American Middle West, with 1 the St. Lawrence as the avenue of pros l pective relief.
 There are a number of reasons why 1 Canadians have not warmed up to the 1 navigation phases of the St. Lawrence
 waterway plan as they have been eutlin- ed by American enthusiasts.
 First of all, 1t is the general view
 among experienced Canadian shippers l that it would take more than seaway
 to cause ocean going vessels to make the trip from Montreal to Duluth or even | from Montreal to Chicago. Such voy- age, the Canadians believe, would be | economically unproftable for the simple reason that lake and canal crafe could haul cargoes between Montreal and lake
 ports more cheaply than ocean going yes
 se1s could haul them. Then, too, it is a general impression on the Canadian side of the International border that the cost of the proposed St. Lawrence waterway is still rather an open question.

 Arthur Surveyor, vice president of the Engineering Institute of Canada, whicf
 have been quite generally disregarded 1T

Pleasing Christ


 Do we thoroughly believe in a liv- ing, omni-present Christ, who is a real presence to all His people, very near to each one of them and pleased or displeased with every act If so
 the pleasing of Christ becomes the most important matter that we have. As He did always those things that pleased the Father, so we may and should do always those things that please the Savouir. Our discipleship has no sweeter joy, no higher ambition than this. Things little, as well as big things, may be done unto the Lord in communion with Him and with a spec ial purpose to win His appreciation. Since we owe Him everything per
 sonal gratitude should lead rk to
 serve Him in everything. And love, if It be genuine, will be satisfied with nothing else. One of the best guides in perplexity is the inquiry "Wfll this
 which l think of doing, please Christ 2" for as a rule, we can tell, if we have been dilligent students of

THE LONDON AssAssINAr1oN.

It is impossible to regard the assas- sination of Field Marshal Wilson in Lon don as anything other than part of the bloodshed and disorder that has been taking place in Ireland. It was the same cowardly demonstration that assassina- tions invariably are. The field marshal had been acting as adviser to the Ulster forces in their efforts to suppress the terrorism that has prevailed there, and even though 1t was in response to duty as a soldier he was made the object of repeated threats His death Is thus only what has been planned, but by his elin1i nation in this manner it does not ad- vance the interests or assure any great CT degree of success for such elements as the assassins represent.
 It cannot be regarded as other than most unfortunate that it should have come at this time just after Ireland has indicated by a vote of it's peace that it wants peace and the ratification of the treaty with Great Britain, though of course it cannot be otherwise than de- plored that it should have happened at ali. It is bound to serve to intensity the feeling in certain localities, but the only benefit that can be seen is the pos sible hastening of the effort for the end ing of the terrorism that has served to set back Ireland at least a century
 Whether it is found that this is but a part of a campaign of assassination of prominent men in Great Britain, it is bound to serve to increase the vigilance exercised for their protection, and the early action looking to the prevention of further outrages should have It's benea- cial results.
 It is fortunate that those directly re- sponsible for the death of the field mar | shal were apprehended. That they will pay the full penalty for their crime can
 be expected, and without unwarranted delay. but no time can be lost in reach | ing any others who may have had a | hand in the plot or who may have been planning to commit similar deeds. Whatever those who committed it may
 have figured on the murder is bound tc react tc the detriment of those support. | ing disorder in Ireland.

For many of our earth lv friends we seem unable to do much, we are separated from them by dis tance or by circumstances; they are in no special need of our aid; we can hardly even tell them of our love. But it is different with Christ. He is all ways with us, in the person of some ailing one; He prizes the cup of cold water given to the thirsty one in His name. We can go to His bedside in
 sickness; we can bring Him many presents; we can live for Him. No life is so well worth while.

TAKING CHANGES IN DEEP WATER.


 How frequently is it that an automo- bile bathing party is made up of those who go to some pond or beach for dip on a warm day It is happening here, there and everywhere almost every day and yet how often Is there exercised the proper amount of care in the enjoyment of such pleasure?
 This week party of young women was driven to a Long Island pond dressed for bathing, and as they arrived they rushed out into the water. Whether familiar with the pond Or not, one of them quickly got beyond her depth, and 1t was but a few minutes before she was calling desperately for help. Her fla ther who had remained in the car heroic ally went to her assistance, but he could not swim and both lost their lives, the other members of the party being unable to swim and therefore could do nothing but frantically wiring their hands and cry for help as father and daughter drowned.
 It was a distressing affair but how often is it repeatedl The enthusiasm of getting into the water leads many to disregard safety. Plunging boldly into a pond or the ocean may be well enough for those who can swim but it is perilous for those who cannot take care of them selves in the water when they get be- yond their depth, step into a hole or suddenly find themselves plunged into deep water.
 Such cases emphasize the importance of knowing how to swim, and in all cases to use care when in the water in keep ing with the individual ability to meet such emergency as might arise. Those who can swim may not be immune to drowning but they are so much better prepared to protect themselves that every | opportunity to learn should be improved Those who cannot swim should not ot | found taking dangerous chances.
